CHRONO-SHOP, the world's leading watch parts boutique and restoration specialist since 2005, is delighted to present the finest piece in its collection: a Dial from the first Rolex Submariner watch of 1954, reference 6200: in exceptional condition!

This dial is the ARCHETYPE and foundation of the first Rolex Submariner to appear in 1954.

In exceptional visual condition, the dark hue refers to shades of coffee-black and combines with the dark beige color of the hour-markers to create an exceptional, timeless look that you won't be able to see otherwise. The Rolex Submariner 6200 made its debut in 1954.

Although the debate is still open, it's widely accepted that the very first Rolex Submariner was the reference 6204, which Rolex launched to the public in 1953.

A year later, Rolex added the Submariner ref. 6200 based on the A296 caliber to the famous family of diving watches.

It is estimated that Rolex manufactured only around 300 examples of Submariner watches ref. 6200 with serial numbers ranging from 319xx to 32xxx.

The Rolex Submariner 6200 bears the nickname “Big Crown Submariner” and “KING SUB” in vintage jargon.

One of the most distinctive features of the Sub 6200 is its large 8 mm Brevet winding crown.

Since the 8 mm crown is significantly larger than the 6 mm crown on the reference 6204, the 6200 is widely known as the “Big Crown Submariner”.

Other Big Crown Submariner watches include the reference 6538 and the reference 5510.

The winding crown features the Rolex crown with “BREVET” written on it. Brevet is the French word for patent.

Another distinctive feature of the Submariner 6200 is its Explorer-style gold dial with 3/6/9 numerals along the simple baton hour markers and inverted triangle at 12 o'clock.

Although rare, the Submariner 6200 is of course not the only Rolex Submariner to feature an Explorer-style dial: it can also be found on the 6538, 5510, 5512 and 5513 models.

The Rolex Submariner 6200 has a few dial variations:

It's interesting to note that, although it's estimated that there are only around 300 examples of the reference 6200, there are still a few dial variants. Some feature the large “Oyster Perpetual” logo and text below 12 o'clock, while others have a smaller logo and text.

Some do not have the “SUBMARINER” label above 6 o'clock, while others do.

In 2013, Christie's also sold a Submariner ref. 6200 with the inscription “Officially Certified Chronometer” under the “Submariner” label for CHF 485,000.

The auction house claims that this is the only known example of the Submariner 6200 to bear the “OCC” inscription.

Often dubbed the “Holy Grail” of vintage Rolex Submariners, the KING SUB Rolex Submariner 6200 is certainly on many watch collectors' wish lists.

An early example of Rolex's now-famous diver's watch, the Sub 6200 combines many desirable features in one must-have timepiece.

This Rolex dial is therefore one of the greatest rarities in the watchmaking world, available only in our Chrono-Shop.
