1957 Oyster Perpetual 6564

A very nice vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6564, dating to circa 1957. The 34mm steel case is accented by a smooth yellow gold bezel and 18k yellow gold Rolex-signed crown.

The original dial has developed a beautiful tropical effect over time, complemented by heavily patinated applied gold dauphine hour markers and matching hands. A contrasting black sweep seconds hand adds another distinctive element to the otherwise minimalist configuration.

Powering the watch is Rolex caliber 1030, a 25-jewel automatic movement recognizable for its butterfly-style rotor cutout. The watch is fitted with a new premium brown leather strap.

A classic 1950s Oyster Perpetual with plenty of vintage character, particularly appealing for its original dial, hands and crown and the unique patina they have developed over nearly seven decades.
