	A multi-tone off-white dial with copper or gold raised Arabic numerals is the configuration Phillips presented as Lot 126 in the Geneva Watch Auction THREE (May 2016). The dial is an off-white with tonal shifts across the surface, applied raised Arabic numerals at every hour position in copper or gold tone, a conventional seconds sub-register at 6 o'clock. The Phillips example, stainless steel with case 107118 dated 1941, sold for CHF 31,250 against an estimate of 15,000–25,000. This is the 2764's public-auction benchmark for a strong-condition example.

This is the 2764's public-auction benchmark for a strong-condition example.

	The California-dial 2764, documented by Bachmann & Scher, pairs Arabic numerals on the lower half with Roman numerals on the upper half, the "California" layout that Rolex used on a small number of dial configurations across the 1930s and 1940s, and that ~~Wind Vintage and other~~ specialist dealers have catalogued extensively on later Submariner and Explorer references. The 2764 California is one of the earlier appearances of the layout. Radium-lumed markers at the hour positions; blued steel or luminous baton hands depending on the example.

	Silver or cream with luminous Arabic numerals is the "Turtle Perpetual" retailer variant. The Heritage Auctions example retailed through Zell Bros. of Portland, Oregon, carries a silver or cream dial with luminous Arabic numerals at every hour position and the retailer's "Turtle Perpetual" mark in addition to the Rolex text. This is the single best-known retailer variant of the reference and gives the 2764 a named place in the North American retailer-signature literature that collectors of the period track.

	The Phillips 2016 result at CHF 31,250 is the current public-auction benchmark for a strong-configuration 2764. Clean stainless examples with "SUPER PRECISION" and period-correct hardware anchor roughly CHF 10,000–25,000 depending on condition and dial. Zell Bros and Birks retailer signatures push into the CHF 20,000–35,000+ range when paired with strong condition.
