Reference 6564 is a mid-1950s Oyster Perpetual built around caliber 1030. Published examples include stainless steel, 9k gold, and 18k gold cases, along with Oyster Perpetual Chronometer versions. A single yellow-gold example cannot stand for the whole reference. The available records describe individual watches and do not establish one universal dial, crown, or bracelet specification. | Reference 6564 is a mid-1950s Oyster Perpetual built around caliber 1030.

The catalogued cases are round Oyster cases with screw backs and screw-down crowns. Reported diameters range from 33mm to 34mm. Christie's gives 34mm for its circa-1956 steel-and-gilt chronometer and 33mm for a circa-1960 9k-gold example; Bonhams gives 33mm for its circa-1955 18k-gold example. The existing yellow-gold photograph represents one material and configuration, not a universal case specification. The reviewed records do not establish one bezel, crown marking, or crystal type for every 6564. | The catalogued cases are round Oyster cases with screw backs and screw-down crowns.

Bracelet details vary by lot. Christie's describes a bracelet on its circa-1956 steel “Deepsea” example, while the Bonhams 18k-gold catalogue entry is shown on a strap. The Hodinkee 18k-gold example is presented with a gold bracelet, but that listing does not by itself prove original delivery. Bracelet and clasp stamps date those components; they do not date the watch head or prove that the components were sold with it. | Bracelet details vary by lot.
