Notes

A fine and rare stainless steel self-winding diver's wristwatch with highly attractive tropical gilt chapter-ring dial, luminous indexes, Mercedes hands and sweep centre seconds, accompanied by its stainless steel Oyster riveted extensible bracelet. The dial has developed a rich and even tropical brown patina over time, giving the watch exceptional character and collector appeal. Early 6536/1 examples are among the most desirable small crown Submariners ever produced.
