RolexThis stainless steel Rolex wristwatch, reference 6107, is dated circa 1962 by the auction house. The piece features a 34 mm steel case fitted with an engine-turned bezel and a steel Oyster bracelet.
The silvered dial displays a webbed sector grid pattern, luminous-filled Arabic numerals, blued steel Mercedes-style hands, and a central seconds hand. Dial inscriptions read 'ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL' and 'CHRONOMETER', although the auction listing documents the movement as manual-winding. Christie's condition report notes that the dial has been reprinted and possibly relumed, with a small mark visible around the 6 o'clock position.

The movement was described as in working order at the time of cataloging but was not tested for accuracy. Internal movement caliber details and caseback markings are not documented in the text or visible photography. The lot documentation notes 'BOX: No' and 'PAPERS: No'. The catalogued bracelet stamping '3 69' and endlink stamping '60' are detailed in the accessories section.

- Visible dial attributes include a silvered finish with a webbed concentric sector grid, printed Arabic hour numerals, and blued steel Mercedes-style hour and skeleton minute hands with luminous fill. The dial is printed with 'ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL' and 'CHRONOMETER'. In its condition report, Christie's notes that the dial displays 'a small mark at 6 o’clock' and explicitly records: 'The dial is reprinted and possibly relumed .'. Furthermore, while the dial is printed 'OYSTER PERPETUAL', the auction specifications list the movement mechanism as 'Manual'.
