Object description

Identity and Source Designation

The item is catalogued in the listing title as a Rolex Oyster Perpetual under reference 6567. The seller further describes the watch as vintage, featuring a 'Caliber 1030' and a '14k Gold Shell' case.

These technical designations originate entirely from the seller's listing text and title. Physical movement markings, internal caseback engravings, and serial numbers are not visible or recorded in the provided frontal image.

Evidence for this section
  • “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref.6567 Vintage Caliber 1030, Rare 14k Gold Shell Watch”

Visual Dial and Case Configuration

Visual observation of the watch shows a silver sunburst dial with applied baton indexes featuring black-inlaid accents. The bottom edge of the dial bears the printed inscription 'T SWISS T'.

The case exhibits a gold-toned finish and is fitted with a fluted screw-down crown. The listing description alternatively summarizes the piece as having a 'gold shell case, silver dial, black hour markers'.

Evidence for this section
  • “Silver sunburst dial with applied baton indexes and black-inlaid accents.”
  • “Gold-toned case with a fluted screw-down crown.”
  • “Dial text at bottom reads 'T SWISS T'.”
  • “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref.6567 watch with gold shell case, silver dial, black hour markers, and linked metal bracelet.”

Mounting Discrepancy and Evidence Limitations

A clear conflict exists between the listing description and the provided photograph. The seller's text describes the watch as featuring a 'linked metal bracelet', whereas the photograph displays the watch mounted on a dark brown textured leather strap with reptile- or alligator-style graining.

Additionally, the listing notes the condition as 'Pre-owned - Good'. Because no movement or interior case views are available, internal components, caliber stamps, and reference number engravings between the lugs cannot be verified from the source data.

Evidence for this section
  • “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref.6567 watch with gold shell case, silver dial, black hour markers, and linked metal bracelet.”
  • “Dark brown textured alligator- or reptile-grain strap fitted between the lugs.”
  • “Condition Pre-owned - Good”

Open research questions

  • Does inspection between the lugs confirm the reference engraving as 6567 and reveal an intact serial number?
  • Does internal examination of the movement confirm caliber 1030?
  • Why does the listing text specify a linked metal bracelet when the photograph shows a dark brown leather strap?
