Notes

Produced during the 1950s, the Reference 6564 captures the refined elegance and technical assurance of Rolex’s early postwar production. Its most distinctive feature is the beautifully aged honeycomb dial, a coveted configuration whose intricate guilloché-like texture adds depth, warmth, and unmistakable vintage character. The applied indexes and dauphine hands enhance the harmonious geometry of the design, reflecting the subtle sophistication of the era.

Powered by a chronometer-rated automatic movement housed within the robust Oyster case, the 6564 embodies the balance of precision and durability that would come to define Rolex’s identity throughout the 20th century.

A superb example of early Oyster Perpetual craftsmanship, this rare honeycomb-dial Ref. 6564 stands as a testament to timeless design, exceptional preservation, and the enduring charm of Rolex’s classic aesthetics.
