Note du spécialiste

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 very good and original overall condition and the rare and attractive white honeycomb dial, often refered to as "Albino dial".
