The table is selective, with gaps between some entries. For a number outside it, compare documented examples of the reference. A matching row supplies an estimate, not proof of manufacture, assembly or sale in that year.

The ref. [[Reference:6210|6210]] article lists five-digit case numbers with the individual sale records. James Dowling reported case 97458 from a Rolex letter. These records do not connect the 6210 numbers to the generic serial charts. [https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-rolex-kew-a-quite-possibly-and-very-likely-the-most-accurate-vintage-rolexes-ever-made Hodinkee on Dowling’s report]

Two dealer records differ by a year from the 1962 Pergola band. HODINKEE dates 1022 case 856369 to 1963; LV800 dates case 856242 to circa 1963. Both numbers fall in the chart’s 1962 band. These are estimates for individual watches, not factory production dates.
