1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Classic Vintage Mens Automatic Watch, Ref. 6564 - Stainless Steel

Rolex

Item No. 6243

Today's offering showcases this very cool Rolex Oyster Perpetual model #6564 encased in stainless steel. It has a striking and distinctively styled silver semi-pie pan dial.

Its no date dial and understated case give it a really pleasing and clean classic style. It is powered by the renowned Caliber 1030 officially certified chronometer movement with butterfly rotor.

The dial is a vintage restoration. It is fully Rolex down to all of the original hands, cool Rolex "+" winding crown, and a correct style period Rolex bracelet.

All waterproofing gaskets have been replaced with brand new genuine Rolex seals, and it has been disassembled the watch down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled; a new genuine new-old-stock Rolex reverser, which often goes bad in these watches, has also been installed. We left on the original crown, so the winding feels a little stiff. We recommend thats it's placed on a watch winder rather than handwound.

It has just been meticulously detailed.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Note: A published example of a similar watch can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 2, pg. 10.
