About this reference
Produced briefly around 1954, the Rolex Submariner reference 6200 is a foundational diver’s watch characterized by its "Big Crown" 8mm winding mechanism and lack of crown guards. Collectors prioritize this reference for its A.296 self-winding movement and the distinctive "Explorer-style" 3-6-9 Arabic numeral dial, a feature rarely seen on later Submariner models. The 6200 features a thicker case than its contemporaries to accommodate the movement and provide a 200-meter depth rating. Due to its limited production run, estimated at approximately 300 units, the reference occupies the high-six-figure price bracket on the secondary market. A notable auction result occurred in 2017 when a well-preserved example sold for over $500,000. Evaluation focuses on the presence of the original "Long 5" bezel insert and the gilt printing on the dial, as these components significantly impact the valuation of this specific reference.
