Rolex Small Crown Submariner Reference 6536/1

The Rolex “Small Crown” Submariner reference 6536/1 is a classic reference. The dial on this example has an extremely cool look with intense color. The case has been lightly polished and measures 38mm in diameter (48mm lug-to-lug). It features the original bezel.

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 the 3rd quarter of 1957 and has a 306,XXX serial. It is paired on a period correct Swiss-made Oyster Rivet bracelet dated to circa 1957 (with 65 end links).

The watch does not come with box or papers.
