14851 - Rolex Oyster Perpetual, the famous so-called "astronomic" moon-phase calendar

14851 - Rolex Oyster Perpetual, the famous so-called "astronomic" moon-phase calendar ref 6062, 35mm x 44mm to lug tips, 18K yellow gold original case, well refinished silvered dial, 18J 9.75 ligne cal 655 mvt with full rotor cover, 6J rotor mechanism, s#916376 (?- the 3 is debatable, barely visible due to a tiny rough wear spot, the remainder very faint but visible), mvt #N52139, front plate #00111, triple signed, inside back ref 6062, ca 1953, with unused vintage Rolex crocodile strap and 18K Rolex buckle (the watch was worn with bracelet through its life, presumably removed after substantial wear). With total production of only 500, this model (including 6063) is only one of two astronomic types ever produced by Rolex, the other being the ref 8171, affectionately called "padellone" by Italian collectors for its large sized dial and snap-back case ("padellone" meaning "large frying pan"). The excellent French website "Collector Square" shows 96 price results for the last 10 years for the 8171, and only 62 results for the present model 6062 over the same period, including one 6063 result. With the exception of a handful of unsold listings, prices range from a low of $42,500 for an apparently refinished black dial example, to a high of $542,500 for an astonishing pristine original example sold by Christie's in NYC in 2011. The latter watch was unique in condition, having spent its life since new, literally, in a sock in a drawer, with pristine black tarnish to the 18K case, and similar strap and buckle to the present example. Otherwise, hardly any results in ten years have been below $50,000, and at least five results show above $400,000, two being over $500,000, the star dial (with star markers) always bringing a premium. In one instance, a mint NOS dial alone sold for $89,711 in 2005. In 2013, two complete watches were sold at $158,693 and $159,712. Prices seem somewhat indifferent to the metal, including stainless steel and 18K in yellow and rose. Condition is the overriding factor in all pricing. The known sales examples cluster in five general serial number ranges where the case number is given: s#690028-047, s#788617-652, s# 911058-140, s#916286-621, and the most frequently between s#942501-682, this example from the fourth range. The present watch is sold without reserve at the most modest estimate range we would interpret.
