Auction and dealer records identify ref. 5006 Oyster Perpetuals dated from 1948 into the 1950s. The cited catalogues give 29–30 mm measurements and describe steel, steel with a precious-metal bezel, and gold examples. The ''Vintage Rolex Field Manual'' lists 5006/3 and 5006/7 material variants. These dates and materials belong to individual watches or to the book's reference table; they do not define a production range. The numeric caliber remains unresolved.
