Lot Essay
The present watch is an appealing example of the rare Submariner reference 6205 enhanced by the presence of the period accessories.
Ref. 6205
Considered to be one of the rarest and most sought-after Submariner models ever produced, reference 6205 was exclusively available in 1954 and 1955 and made in an exceedingly small series. Only some models featured the designation “Submariner” on the dial.
It is the second so-called “small crown” Submariner after reference 6204, introducing many new improvements, most notably the increased depth resistance of 100 meters, the larger crown (6 mm.) for better handling, black lacquer dial with gilt printing but without the depth rating, luminous dot hour markers, Mercedes hands and a large seconds hand. The bezels featured a silver triangle, without the first 15 minutes, only five minute intervals.
