A rare and unusual specimen from the depths of the Rolex catalog, this late 1950s Oyster Veriflat ref. 6512 in 18K rose gold, is not your typical Oyster. For starters, it is the thinnest Oyster case the brand ever made measuring just 9mm thin and 34mm wide, it wears flush and broad on the wrist.
Secondly, its dial possesses some real Rolex nerdery with its “OCC” text, wrapped around its sub-seconds register, the design language evokes the bubblebacks of its former life, pumpin aged lumed alpha hands with minimal loss, and its correct pink Brevet signed Rolex crown.
There is a ton to appreciate as a Rolex collector or not. It’s manually wound COSC certified caliber 1030 is running well. We do not have service history. It comes paired on a pink plated period Rolex buckle.
