Artcurial's 2009 catalogue~~, preserved by Collector Square, dates~~ a steel watch ~~attributed~~ to 6584 ~~to circa 1954~~. A ~~dealer~~ dates a gold example to 1955~~, while~~ Freeman's dates its gold lot to circa the 1960s. These ~~lot and listing~~ dates ~~give examples~~, not production limits.

The archived Artcurial 2009 catalogue attributes a circa-1954 steel watch to 6584. A Fine Watch dates its gold example to 1955; Freeman's dates its gold lot to circa the 1960s. These are dates for individual watches, not production limits.

==Dial map==

~~Wind Vintage~~ shows a gold example with triangular markers at 3, 6, and 9, ~~which the dealer calls~~ “shark teeth.” Artcurial describes an ivory waffle-pattern dial with applied wedge markers and Arabic numerals. Antiquorum lists a steel watch jointly as 6080/6584, with a silver dial, applied darts, and 3-6-9 numerals. A forum sale post reports a waffle dial on a claimed steel 6584; its images are unavailable, so that layout remains a seller's description. The records give examples, not a sequence of dial changes.

The [https://www.windvintage.com/rolex-oyster-perpetual-reference-6584 6584 dealer listing] shows a gold example with triangular markers at 3, 6, and 9, called “shark teeth.” Artcurial describes an ivory waffle-pattern dial with applied wedge markers and Arabic numerals. Antiquorum lists a steel watch jointly as 6080/6584, with a silver dial, applied darts, and 3-6-9 numerals. A forum sale post reports a waffle dial on a claimed steel 6584; its images are unavailable, so that layout remains a seller's description. The records give examples, not a sequence of dial changes.

Freeman's describes its gold example's dial as silvered. A Fine Watch says its 1955 gold example has a refinished silver dial. None of these records dates the dial layouts or identifies the factory options.

==Case, bezel, crystal, and crown notes==

Freeman's records a 14-karat yellow-gold case and an inner caseback stamped 6584; its catalogue gives an approximate 32 mm diameter. ~~Wind Vintage~~ attributes ~~another~~ 14-karat gold case to Genex, and an EBTH archive lot records the Genex key-12 mark on a 34 mm ~~14-karat~~ gold example. The Artcurial archive describes a 34 mm steel watch~~, but the later~~ Antiquorum ~~catalogue~~ uses the joint reference 6080/6584 ~~for a steel example~~. A separate Aste Bolaffi lot is titled 6584 while its text says the caseback is stamped 6564. ~~Steel fitment therefore remains less secure~~ than the gold examples.

The [https://www.windvintage.com/rolex-oyster-perpetual-reference-6584 other 6584 listing] attributes a 14-karat gold case to Genex, and an EBTH archive lot records the Genex key-12 mark on a 34 mm gold example. The Artcurial archive describes a 34 mm steel watch; Antiquorum's steel entry uses the joint reference 6080/6584. A separate Aste Bolaffi lot is titled 6584 while its text says the caseback is stamped 6564. These steel entries have weaker reference support than the gold examples.

Catalogue dimensions range from about 32 to 35 mm; the difference may reflect variant cases or inconsistent measuring. The Field Manual lists a smooth bezel. Available records do not settle the crystal or crown specification. Aste Bolaffi lot 179 gives case number 125001 and an I.56 date, but its title says 6584 while the description reports a 6564 caseback stamp. Treat the date as part of that mismatched catalogue entry, not as a confirmed 6584 serial anchor. For general dating limits, see [[Reference:Serial-numbers|Serial numbers]].

==Bracelets, end links, clasps, and packaging notes==

Freeman's and ~~Wind Vintage~~ show leather straps on individual examples. ~~Those listings do not establish a factory bracelet or end-link fitment for~~ the ~~reference~~. Box and paper records are sparse.

The [https://freemansauction.com/auction/2017-Summer-Edit-Watches-and-Luxury-Accessories/lot/2 Freeman's lot] and the [https://www.windvintage.com/rolex-oyster-perpetual-reference-6584 6584 dealer listing] show leather straps on individual examples. Neither description identifies its strap as original to the watch. Box and paper records are sparse.
