1952 Rolex Oyster 'Concentric' Dial Manual 34mm 6082

Here we have a classic 1952 Rolex Oyster 'Concentric' Dial Manual 6082, featuring a 34mm round stainless steel Oyster case that comfortably sits on your wrist, with tapered, drilled lugs. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 40mm and a case thickness of 11mm. On the right side, a signed non-screw-down crown. The smooth bezel holds a domed crystal above a stunning Concentric dial. An outer minute track, precisely executed, surrounds the Concentric circles with applied gold bullet-shaped indexes marking the hours. Elegant gold leaf hands are complemented by a fine thermally blued seconds hand. At noon, the golden Rolex coronet and Rolex Oyster are printed beneath; at 6 o’clock, ‘Shock-Resisting’ completes this incredible sporty timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down coin-edged solid case back, inside a manually wound Rolex Cal. 1210, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. This quality movement features a Breguet hairspring and Kif-Duofix shock protection. It comes paired with a well-suited 19mm leather strap and pin buckle.

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and therefore comes with no original Rolex box and paperwork. It comes paired with a well-suited 19mm leather strap and pin buckle. The watch is from Circa. 1952 and sold in vintage, worn condition; signs of age and wear, along with a subtle patina, are evident. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

This is an incredible Rolex Oyster, sometimes nicknamed the 'Super Oyster' after their early non-screwdown crowns. This reference 6082 comes in an impressive 34mm case and features a wonderful 'Concentric' dial which has aged beautifully to a subtle caramel tone. Powered by the manually wound Rolex Cal. 1210, this is a serious vintage gem from 1952. I would not hesitate to add this fantastic example to your collection today!

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements which were installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. In 1945, they released Datejust. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT-Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960, saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
