Ref. 6105, “Red Date-Black Dial” Rolex, "Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Chronometer Officially Certified", case No. 907165, Ref. 6105. Made in 1952. Very fine and rare, water-resistant, center seconds, self-winding, 18K yellow gold chronometer wristwatch with red date. Two body, polished and brushed, screw-down case back, "Super- Oyster" crown, milled bezel. Black with applied yellow gold dart indexes, outer gold-painted fifths of a second divisions, gold framed aperture for the date in red. Luminous yellow gold “alpha” hands. Notes The “Super-Oyster” winding crown was an attempt by Rolex to create a waterproof winding crown which did not need to be screwed down. While the system itself worked, in time the rubber seal perished and therefore this crown type was phased out after only a few years of production.
