Bonsoir à tous,
Comme vous le savez si vous avez lu mon post précédent, je suis actuellement en Italie. En me promenant sur les sites des AD locaux, je suis tombé sur une bien curieuse montre dont je n’ai pas trouvé de référence ni dans ce forum, ni ailleurs…
Peut-être que l’un d’entre vous en a entendu parler auparavant et pourrait m’indiquer quelle est son histoire et surtout pourquoi celle ci est nommée « DeepSea ». Ce nom me rappelle quelque chose en effet!
Voilà ce qui est précisé sur l’annonce:
Rolex Deepsea Oyster Perpetual – Ref. 6532
Cassa in acciaio 34 mm con con vetro plexiglass (vetroplastica)
Bracciale Oyster in acciaio con maglie rivettate
Movimento a carica automatica
Anno di produzione: 1956
Matricola: 269…Place aux photos de l’intrigante Rolex
Elle a aussi existé en cadran noir
Un cadran noir en 3 6 9, plus sport, j’aime assez :
La description de cette dernière :- Citation :
- While the Rolex reference 6532 sometimes appears in the collector’s market, the watches ALWAYS have a silverfish white color dial. Finding this watch with the original, untouched black dial was one of collecting’s small miracle moments.
We kind of saw it and said, what is this? Can’t be a 6532 with the black dial… but it was and with the “DEEPSEA” printed subtly underneath the “OYSTER PERPETUAL”. Again, this is a completely original, untouched black gilt dial.
Serial number of this watch is 216XXX which dates it to 1956. Caseback is engraved 6532 and with IV.56 (fourth quarter 1956).
Original stainless steel case is 33mm in diameter by 12mm thick and has a polished finish. The 6532 is popularly thought to share a case with the early Explorers. However, this is not the case (pun intended!). Instead, the 6532 case has straight case sides and thin lugs, which distinguishes it from an Explorer. It is also 1mm in diameter smaller than an Explorer.
Movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1030 with 25 jewels and adjusted to five positions and temperature. Movement is clean and operating well. Screw down crown is also operating as it should.
Original dial is black with applied golden hour markers, gilt printing and original alpha style hands.
Bracelet is a Rolex stretch style Oyster. Clasp has ‘7-66’ date code.
Overall condition of this watch is mint and completely original.
On trouve aussi ca :
- Citation :
- The Deepsea watch was tested on the Bathyscaphe Trieste in 1958 down to 11,000 meters. The name Deep Sea was registered by Rolex on January 19, 1953 and the watch was Ref. #6532. The original Rolex Deepsea was first registerd a few weeks before Rolex registered the Explorer.
- Citation :
- In 1953, Rolex registered several model names, including Explorer, Deep-Sea and Submariner. It did not quite know what to call its « sports » watches, so it was casting about for a good name.
