When one speaks of iconic watches, the Rolex Reference 6062 inevitably comes to the forefront. A true marvel in the world of horology, this masterpiece epitomizes the seamless union of technical mastery and exquisite design. Launched in 1950 at the Basel Fair, the 6062 broke new ground by introducing both the moon phase complication and date functionality, making it one of the first waterproof Rolex models to feature such a combination. Alongside the Reference 8171, the 6062 remains one of the rarest Rolex models to carry the moon phase complication, earning it a place of distinction among vintage collectors. Crafted in various metals including stainless steel, yellow gold, and pink gold, the yellow gold versions—such as the one presented here—are among the most appreciated and coveted. What makes this watch even more desirable is the "Stelline" dial, a hallmark of Rolex’s exceptional craftsmanship. The dial features star-shaped markers that add an ethereal quality, transforming a timekeeping tool into an object of art. The dial itself is a sight to behold, with a light patina that imparts an undeniable sense of history. The deep blue numerals on the outer track further highlight the dial's design, ensuring that the watch remains both beautiful and legible. Adding a level of sophistication to the overall presentation is the moon phase disk, crafted by the celebrated Stern Frères using the champlevé enamel technique. The craftsmanship extends to the case itself, with the master case maker’s mark 12—Genex—visible on the inside of the caseback. Genex, a division of the renowned Gay Frères in Geneva, was responsible for creating some of the finest cases of the era, and this Rolex is no exception. In excellent condition and offered with original yellow gold bracelet, this Rolex Reference 6062 is definitely a piece of history. Its scarcity, technical complexity, and aesthetic appeal make it a prized possession for collectors seeking to add something truly exceptional to their collection. A Stelline dial version, is a rare and exquisite treasure that will continue to captivate for generations to come.
