1953 Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202 Honeycomb Dial Stainless Steel Automatic Watch

Item Details

1953 Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202 Honeycomb dial stainless steel automatic wristwatch. A rare and early Oyster Perpetual Turn-O-Graph with a gilt honeycomb dial, a bidirectional bezel, and a screw-lock crown set on a stainless steel case with a Rolex U.S.A. oval link Jubilee bracelet. The 6202 was released in 1953 and was the first Turn-O-Graph made by Rolex. It also served as the foundation for the very first submariner (Ref. 6204) which was released later in 1953. The 6202 marked the beginning of Rolex’s rotating bezel tool watches and is their first serially produced watch with a rotating bezel.
