Notes

Reference 4062 is one of Rolex?s most successful non-Oyster chronographs, having appeared in the catalogue for 21 years from 1942-1963. It is also of interest that in period advertising this watch cost 35% more than a stainless steel reference 5036 Oyster chrono-calendar. This watch is illustrated in ?Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches?, by Osvaldo Patrizzi, 2001 Edition, p. 412.
