Ref. 6062 is one of only two models that Rolex produced with moon phases, the other was the Ref. 8171. The two models differ in their case construction, with the present model having a screw down case back, rather than the snap back of Ref. 8171. Furthermore, Ref. 6062 has a more pronounced tonneau rather than circular form.  

The present lot retains an original dial with a very attractive light patina and pyramid indexes, a rar𝓀e feature for the model.
