The 6205 is the second small-crown Submariner and the reference where Mercedes hands first appear on a Rolex dive watch. Both pencil-hand and Mercedes-hand configurations are documented within 6205 production, splitting the run into two series. Phillips Game Changers 2019 lot 54 (case 21,354) is the canonical pencil-hand survivor; the majority of surviving examples carry Mercedes. The Phillips article by Logan Baker (2024) credits the 6200 and the 6205 jointly with the Mercedes-hand introduction; Hodinkee and Le Monde Edmond attribute the Mercedes hand specifically to the 6205. Both readings appear in the auction record. | The 6205 is the second small-crown Submariner and the reference where Mercedes hands first appear on a Rolex dive watch.
