Rolex Small Crown Red Depth Rating Submariner Reference 6536/1 Unpolished

I’m very excited to offer this Rolex “Small Crown” Submariner reference 6536/1 with “red depth rating” for sale. This is a very exceptional example and reference 6536s are extremely rare with the red depth rating. The case is in excellent condition and remains unpolished. It measures 38mm in diameter (48mm lug-to-lug) and wears amazing on the wrist. It features the original bezel, which could be as much as $30-$40k by itself.

The luminous-hour markers have a spectacular warm patina which is much more beautiful in person. Complementing the orange lume is the awesome gilt font and chapter ring. The watch dates to circa 1955. It is paired on a later Swiss-made Oyster stretch rivet bracelet dated to the first quarter of 1966 (with 80 end links).

The watch does not come with box or papers. The watch comes from the family member of the original owner. We do not know the service history, but it is keeping good time.
