Catalogue Note

Rolex produced Ref. 6036 from 1951 to approximately 1957. The company modified the dial throughout its production, making many examples from this reference highly limited and extremely rare. The present watch is beautifully composed with applied faceted dart indexes to compliment the large Losangé hands. From our research, approximately 350 pieces were made in yellow gold, out of which only 70 pieces were fitted with this attractive dial combination.
