Daniel Coffaro is passionate: jazz passionate, passionate about the 1970s, passionate about coffee, passionate about whiskey and for what we are interested in watches. No doubt it is due to his Sicilian origins, of which he is very proud.
Director of our shop located on rue du Bac, in Paris, it is with this enthusiasm that is his own that he is talking to us today about the Rolex Submariner Ref. 6536/1
A rare reference: Ref. 6536/1
I decided to present a Rolex Submariner Ref. 6536/1, one of the first submariner without shoulder, heir to the reference 6536.
Appeared in 1955, it was produced only four years, until 1959. In this case, it is a "Small Crown". Although with a small crown, the fact that she has no shoulder earn her nickname "James Bond", like ref. 6538 which was immortalized on the wrist of the only real 007 agent, Sean Connery, in the film Dr No. Rarer than his ancestor, Ref. 5508, it is a real myth for all lovers of vintage watches.
Finding a rolex over 60, in such a state of conservation is a real challenge. Its case is slightly thicker than the ref. 5508, which brings more bodies to the watch. His very beautiful "Gilt" dial gives him a unique and exceptional look. The movement is the famous 1030 "Butterfly", a mechanical with manual reassembly, one of the most beautiful. Finally, thanks to her time riveted oyster bracelet, she perfectly marries the wrist.
