Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref.6552 rare Two-Tone Dial from 1958

This watch stands out as an exceptionally rare and intriguing piece in Rolex history. Unusually, its dial is not signed “Officially Certified Chronometer,” a detail that sets it apart. The caseback bears two reference numbers: 6565, which denotes the broader series this watch belongs to, and 6552—stamped between the lugs—identifying this exact model.

What truly makes this piece extraordinary is its dial: a remarkably rare two-tone design with a creamy white outer ring and a sunburst silver inner section—an aesthetic combination virtually unheard of from Rolex. With its rarity, originality, and distinguished provenance, this watch represents an exceptional opportunity for the discerning collector. It is even documented in Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches by Osvaldo Patrizzi (2001 edition, p. 184), further attesting to its significance.
