Notably, the crown often features the Rolex coronet marked \n      with a “+” symbol, a detail appreciated by collectors.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      One of the most fascinating aspects of this example is its dial, belonging to the early radium \n      era. The presence of radium lume is indicated by the characteristic lighter marker at 6 o’clock — \n      a distinctive feature later seen in subsequent references such as the Submariner 6536.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      All other features remain largely consistent with the 6204, including water resistance rated \n      to 100 meters \/ 330 feet, a significant benchmark for early professional diving watches by Rolex.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The black gilt gloss dial with luminous markers and Mercedes hands perfectly embodies the \n      aesthetic of 1950s tool watches.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      A historically significant and highly collectible timepiece, representing one of the most \n      desirable early vintage Submariners ever produced by Rolex.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54313702097219,"sku":null,"price":67500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/5955\/4627\/files\/DSC01127-2.jpg?v=1774854014","url":"https:\/\/andreafoffi.com\/products\/rolex-submariner-small-crown-ref-6205","provider":"Andrea Foffi - Vintage watches dealer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
