The Rolex Chronograph 4768 was introduced in 1947 and was Rolex’s first antimagnetic triple calendar chronograph. The reference 4768 production life was a short one, with slightly more than 200 watches produced. The Rolex Chronograph 4768 features two-tone styling of stainless steel and yellow gold. 

The Chronograph 4768 has a round case with teardrop lugs, which is a deviation from the usual Oyster case seen in other Rolex models. In addition, the Rolex Chronograph 4768 has a Caliber 72c and manual winding movement.

The Rolex Chronograph 5036 was produced between 1948 and 1951 and had a dual-part case. The Chronograph 5036 was made in yellow gold, pink gold, and perhaps stainless steel. The watch has a 37mm case and manual winding movement with applied dot indexes. It also has three subsidiary dials, outer date ring, and Roman numeral XII. 

The rarity of this vintage Rolex watch makes it an ideal purchase for the true Rolex collector.
