Rolex. A fine and rare stainless steel self-winding water-resistant wristwatch with sweep centre seconds and bracelet

Reference 6538 has come to international fame when prominently worn by 007 Agent James Bond during his stint in "Dr. No". Its first and best remembered appearance was when Bond enters a bar and while lighting a cigarette checks the precise time on his reliable tool watch. As a professional agent would expect, the explosive device previously planted by him blows up on the dot as indicated by his Submariner. Consequently, Bond and his reference 6538 are the only two "guests" to maintain their composure...

It is therefore by no surprise that amongst thoroughbred Rolex aficionados reference 6538 enjoys the most authentic status as "James Bond" model. Defined by its masculine case proportions, the large 8 mm. crown without crown guards and the bezel without minute markings on the first quarter lend it an unmistakable look.
