Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches
Sotheby's cannot arrange for the delivery of Rolex watches to the United States because U.S. laws restricts the import of Rolex watches. The buyer or a designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale."

Ref. 6062 is one of only two models that Rolex produced with moon-phases, the other model being Ref. 8171. The two models differ in their case construction, with the present model having a screw-down case back, rather than the snap back of Ref. 8171. Furthermore, Ref. 6062 has a more pronounced tonneau rather than circular form. The attractive and unusual so called 'Star Dial' or 'Stelline Dial' was the first version of the Ref. 6062 when launched in 1950 and research suggests that these were produced in limited numbers.
