'56 Perpetual

Oct 16, 2011,04:25 AM
 

Can anybody help. I have a 1956 oyster perpetual with steel band and I am trying to track down an original box for this watch. I had the misfortune to be sold a fake, but the problem is that I have no idea what type of box would have been used. I would be more than greatful if anyone can point me in the right direction.

LOL ! (credit Antiquorum)...  

I saw something very similar, in terms of complete GMTs.

It was a 1675 underline... What about the box, do you have any info? Best, Jeff. Nicolas.

It depends on the market where the watch was sold

but in most cases it would look like that......  

Thank you for your help...

I was not expecting this one, to be honest.

But something more like that: Here, with a 6610 Red ( don't know who to credit for ) : Or this other one, whose picture has to be credited to Jacek. Mine has been delivered to a Swiss Agent, so I'm wondering what kind of box I have to hunt... Best, Jeff, ...  

In most cases...

these pictures show "reconstructed sets" and the box is not the "original" one. The last one is a service box. I would expect a rectangular box with either flat or faceted top.

Do you have a picture of these boxes?

I did a long search to fall on contradictory answers... To believe that no one got a full set 6542. Best, Nicolas.

They are the two models on my previous pictures

but it's complicated to be sure a box is "correct", as there is no official Rolex documentation (like on bracelets for instance).

Thanks, Jeff... Will check that.
