Rolex Oyster Perpetual Red Depth 6565

34mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual  from the 1950’s. The watch is made in 18k yellow gold and has a two tone dial with a rare feature. The dial clearly shows a radium burn patina over the dial, what’s still clear and eye-catching is the Depth Rating of the watch (50m = 165ft) written in Red. Furthermore it’s decorated with Concorde shaped markers at the 3, 6, and 9 o’ clock position.

The watch is given to an employe of the Ford motor company in Belgium. It has an automatic movement with a butterfly movement rotor. The movement is clean and running perfectly on time. This watch could be considered as extremely rare as there are not many Rolex watches around with a depth signature on the dial in Red, this is one of the first waterproof rolex watches which was proofed to be water resistant till at least 50 meters.
