Rolex King Midas Ref. 3580 – 18k Yellow Gold Diamond Set (1970s)
Bold and highly distinctive Rolex King Midas Ref. 3580, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and enhanced by an exceptional diamond pavé setting—capturing the avant-garde spirit of Rolex in the 1970s.

The sculptural asymmetrical case and integrated bracelet create a striking architectural design, with the signature left-hand crown configuration. Despite its 27 mm size, the watch has strong wrist presence thanks to its solid construction and unique shape.
The diamond setting across the case and alternating bracelet links adds depth and brilliance, executed with high craftsmanship and giving the piece true statement character.
