Not my specialty, so I will do my best to describe.
This is a reference 6567 from the late 1950's or early 1960's in solid 14k gold.
Inside is the 1030 calibre movement which was launched in 1950, and was aparently their first in house movement.
Time and tide has worn the numbers off between the lugs, so I cannot see any serial number that I can use to date it.
This watch was taken in trade recently from an upstanding long time member, one of whom I trust.
In his words it is "keeping vintage time", but neither of us has any means of graphing it. It is non-hacking, but it seems to be running well on the eye test.
It has been serviced and polished many times in its life, that is clear from engravings on the inner case back and visual inspection. The fluted bezel is still remarkably sharp for a watch that is 65+ years old!
I can see some spotting on the deal, and possibly some light dirt accummulation around the markers. The hands show marks from removal and replacement.
On the wrist it sparkles like new.
This was the men's full size from the day, but I guess now would be called unisex.
Prices online for this model have a very wide range including up to twice as high as my ask.
It comes on a David Yurman 19mm croc strap, and I may find some others to add, but no promises. Good for up to 7" wrist. I will look through my drawer. Buckle is stainless steel.
Will ship in a beautiful condition Rolex service box from the 1960's!!
I am asking what I took it in on trade for. $6985 shipped to any address in Canada.
If you are looking for a well kept survivor that does not appear adulterated then this could be the find for you.
The movement and inner caseback photos were supplied by the previous owner.
Please message me with any questions... although if you are inquiring, it is likely you know more about this watch than I do.
Cheers.
