Watch Paparazzi

Business man Giorgio Armani spotted wearing Rolex

Giorgio Armani may be best known for his iconic fashion designs, but a lesser-known fact about the famed Italian entrepreneur is his impeccable taste in watches. In an old photo captured by the famous artist Andy Warhol, Armani can be seen wearing a stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronomètre known as the "Bubbleback". This timepiece, model Ref. 3065, is a classic example of Rolex's attention to detail and functionality.

The Bubbleback gets its name from the shape of its automatic movement, which features a "bubble" shape on the back of the watch. This design not only allowed for a larger mainspring, but also allowed the watch to maintain accuracy even when subject to shocks and vibrations.

Armani's Bubbleback features a black dial with both indexes and Arabic numerals, giving it a timeless and sophisticated look. While Rolex has produced many iterations of the Bubbleback over the years, the Ref. 3065 is a particularly sought-after model among collectors and enthusiasts.

In addition to its durable construction and classic design, the Bubbleback is also praised for its accuracy and reliability. It's no wonder that such a discerning fashion icon like Giorgio Armani has chosen to wear this timepiece. The Bubbleback is a testament to Rolex's commitment to crafting watches of the highest quality and functionality.
