Specialist note

Reference 6202 was Rolex's first Turn-O-Graph model. Introduced to the market in 1954, it was characterized by a graduated revolving black bezel with a red triangle at the zero position. The trademark registration for the model dates back to November 1953.

The watch on offer here stands out by its honest overall condition and attractive off-white silvered dial. This type of dial is rare and collectors often refer to it as an "Albino dial".
