This timepiece allows you to fully appreciate the charm of vintage Rolex with its three-dimensional logo, found only in the 1950s.

"PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d’Oro," which has earned high praise from domestic and international watch collectors and fashionistas for its unique selection of vintage watches from the 1940s to the 1990s, has received the ROLEX Oyster Perpetual "ENGIN FIX BEZEL" Spear Hour-Makers.

Among the many masterpieces produced by Rolex in the 1950s, the Ref. 6569 stands out with its exceptionally unique presence.

The Cal. 1030 movement it is equipped with is a renowned mechanism known as Rolex's first truly bi-directional automatic winding movement. With 25 jewels, 18,000 vibrations per hour, and approximately 42 hours of power reserve, it laid the foundation for later Rolex automatic movements. Featuring a Breguet overcoil and other highly advanced specifications for its time, it is an indispensable caliber when discussing the technical evolution of Rolex in the 1950s.

This model, along with the Ref. 6564 and Ref. 6567, is known as a representative of the early Oyster Perpetual models equipped with the Cal. 1030. Its high degree of perfection as a practical watch, along with its diverse dial variations and era-specific design, has led to its high evaluation today as a symbol of 1950s Rolex.

A Unique Piece Woven by the Engine Bezel and Spear-Shaped Hour Markers

This particular piece is a rare specification featuring the so-called **"engine bezel"** with three-dimensional engravings. Unlike the practical designs of later years, this is a design that fuses the decorative qualities and functional beauty unique to that era at a high level. Furthermore, what deserves special mention are the spear-shaped hour markers on the dial. The sharply extending indices embody the design beauty unique to 1950s Rolex, giving this simple Oyster Perpetual a powerful individuality.

Another highlight of this model is the three-dimensional "ROLEX" logo, which was only used for a brief period from 1950 to 1959. This design, which was lost in later years, symbolizes the technical prowess and status that Rolex boasted at the time and is highly regarded by vintage Rolex enthusiasts.

It is not flashy. However, the more you look at the details, the more you are drawn into its depth.

Born as a practical item, the Ref. 6569 today evokes a value akin to a work of art.

This is an extremely attractive piece that allows you to fully enjoy the world of vintage Rolex.
