Dear All
For sale is this Rolex 6082 Shock-Resisting Oyster Wristwatch c.1952.
The Rolex 6082 Shock-Resisting Oyster is a relatively rare and unusual reference produced by Rolex in the early 1950s until the 1960s.
Its main features include a 34mm stainless steel case with a screw-down case back and a Rolex 15 jewel manual wind movement.
The particularly fine example for sale features a spectacular and seldom found 3–6–9 dial with beautiful gold baton markers and matching hour and minute hands.
As indicated on the dial, the watch incorporates early Rolex shock-resistance technology, designed to protect the movement from shocks and impacts.
Adding to its desirability and significance, the watch for sale was formerly the property of RAF Wing Commander C. F. Kevis (46064). This is confirmed by the inscription on the reverse of the case back.
Colin Frank Kevis appears to have had a long and distinguished career in the Royal Air Force. This is apparent by his WW2 medals and matching miniatures, both of which accompany the watch, together with copies of the entries included within the London Gazette relating to his military service.
His six-medal group includes the following:
1939–45 Star
France and Germany Star
War Medal with M.I.D. Oak Leaf
Defence Medal
General Service Medal with Malaya Clasp
RAF Long Service and Good Conduct Medal
The Rolex 6082 is in excellent overall condition, having been recently serviced by our highly skilled and experienced horologist.
The dial is in lovely overall condition.
The hands, seconds hand and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.
As expected, there are several minor scratches and marks on the outer casing of the watch.
The Rolex 710 calibre movement is in good condition, is running well and keeping good time.
The watch diameter is 34mm.
Please see photos below:
The watch is listed for sale on our website, priced at £5,995, which includes a free six-month warranty and a newly fitted two-piece leather strap.
For further information on the watch for sale, please feel free to call us on 0207 117 2807 or email us direct via info@finest-hour.co.uk
Many thanks and regards
