Lot 295
Rolex "Oyster Perpetual officially certified Chronometer", Movement No. D709036, Ref. 6564, Cal. 1030, 34 mm, circa 1959
A vintage automatic Geneva wristwatch with guarantee
Case: 18k gold, reeded bezel, screw back ref. 6567, screwed "Twinlock" winding crown, Rolex buckle. Dial: gilt, luminous baton hands.
This watch is remarkable because of its extravagantly elegant design – most striking of course is the exquisite honey-coloured dial and the unusually shaped mirror-polished indexes.
References 6564 and 6567 are identical except for the bezel. Case and back were interchangeable.
In fact, the Rolex reference 6564 (sometimes also known as the "Oyster Perpetual without date) was originally inspired by the Rolex Explorer model but later evolved in to a much more elegant watch. Rolex reference 6564 was produced for about 30 years and established itself all over the world as an alternative to the Rolex Datejust. Calibre 1030 was produced between 1950 and 1957 and was also used in later models.
