Rolex Turn-o-Graph Ref. 6202

NOT AVAILABLE

Brand: Rolex
Typology: Vintage sport watch
Year: 1953

1953 saw Rolex at the start of their first true golden age and it was the Rolex Turn O Graph 6202 that can stand up and take the lion’s share of the credit. It was the model that provided the foundation on which the brand would build their phenomenal success, the source of much of the vital DNA that would be passed down to the new breed of professional watches.
Debuting at Baselworld in that year, the ref. 6202 can best be described as the pre-Submariner.

This example is a reference 6202, which is the first version of the watch made in 1953. As stated, this is the first Rolex tool watch, but it’s also the first serially produced Rolex with a rotating bezel.
It’s the reason the watch is called a Turn-O-Graph.
The bezel pioneered on the Turn-O-Graph would later become a defining feature on other professional models like the Submariner, GMT-Master, and even early Milgauss models.
