Abeautifulmid-size Rolex "Super" Precision, reference 6022, from circa 1952. This watch features a34mm steel case, serviced calibre 710 movement and a rare "Super Rolex Oyster" crown.
The Super Oyster crown's rarity stems from the fact that it was only produced for a limited time (1951-1953). This crown was created as a water-resistant alternative to ,originally introduced in 1926. After a couple of years of production and further testing, any advantage provided by the Super Oyster crown was quickly deemed to be exceeded by the screw-down Oyster crown's tried and true water resistance, and manufacture reverted to the screw-down Oyster crown in 1953.
When watches with the Super Oyster crowns were sent to Rolex for servicing, several of the crowns were replaced with screw-down crowns,hence whyexamples of the Super Oyster models are becoming increasingly rare.
