Rolex's model-specific text assigns Cal. 7040-3 to both 5441/9 dial versions. Antiquorum's 2008 catalogue calls case D758994 Cal. 7040-1; Christie's and Sotheby's identify other 5441/9 examples as 7040-3. Keep Antiquorum's label with that lot; the available record does not resolve it.

Cal. 1030 is a bidirectionally wound automatic used in 1950s Oyster references. Its 5.85mm profile ended the domed Bubbleback caseback, while the cutaway "butterfly" rotor stamped ROLEX PERPETUAL PATENTED is the usual visual identifier. Finishing includes perlage on the rhodium-plated main plate, brushed bridges, polished screw heads and red anodized-aluminium reversing wheels. A conventional index regulates the movement; the visible regulator arm distinguishes it from the later free-sprung 1560 and 1570. Documented fitments include ref. 6098 from 1952, Oyster Perpetual 6502 and ~~6567~~, Submariners 6536, 6536-1 and 6538, Explorer 6610 and Air-King 6552. Artcurial, Antiquorum and Sotheby’s catalogue 6502 examples with Cal. 1030; Watch-Wiki independently lists the association. The case 36701 records conflict: the Invaluable archive of Monaco Legend labels it 6502, while Phillips identifies that case as 6603. The competing catalogue attributions leave its reference unresolved.

Gardiner Houlgate catalogues Cal. 1560 in one ref. 1023, serial 1136xxx, dated circa 1964. Time Connection II’s replacement-parts table lists both Cal. 1560 and 1570 under the reference, without dates or a sequence. The auction record documents one Cal. 1560 example; it does not establish when either caliber entered production.

Matthew Bain lists Cal. 1560 in its circa-1963 ref. 1026. Time Connection II lists 1560/1570 for 1026 in a replacement-parts table, while Bachmann & Scher gives no caliber. The 1560 identification is one dealer attribution; the parts table is compatibility data, not a documented Cal. 1570 installation or changeover. See [[Reference:1026|ref. 1026]].

Auction catalogues also identify Cal. 1560 in ref. 1024 examples dated circa 1965/66 and circa 1970. Antiquorum lists Cal. 1560 in a ref. 1011 dated 1960, case 546423, and in two lots jointly catalogued as refs. 1010/1011, dated 1960 and 1962. Heritage also lists Cal. 1560 in an undated ref. 1011 sold in 2012. Heritage and Bonhams list Cal. 1560 in individual ref. 1010 lots dated circa 1962 and circa 1967; Antiquorum lists Cal. 1570 in an individual ref. 1010 circa 1968. The Field Manual lists Cal. 1560 for ref. 1010. A 1stDibs item text also names Cal. 1560 for its claimed 1010, though the page title says 1011; treat it as seller-level evidence. These records document both attributions for ref. 1010, and its changeover year remains open; see [[Reference:1010|ref. 1010]]. Antiquorum catalogues Cal. 1560 in ref. 1501 examples dated 1962 (case 761,220) and 1963 (case 953,774); see [[Reference:1501|ref. 1501]], [https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/rolex-ref-1501-oyster-perpetual-date-lot-386-200 the 1962 lot], and [https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/rolex-lot-247-67 the 1963 lot].
