For [[Reference:6074|ref. 6074]], Antiquorum and John Goldberger date a two-piece platinum commission to 1950, but publish no case serials for those watches. Antiquorum's 1990 gold lot gives a 1950s estimate without a case number; its 2025 gold lot says the case number was no longer visible. Henrik Korpela's restored gold example had 6030 and 6031 scratched out on the caseback before 6074 was stamped over them. These records do not form a serial sequence. Compare the individual case and movement marks; the 1-50 code in Goldberger's image dates the bracelet component.

Five catalogued 6567 case numbers can be compared with Pergola's chart bands. [https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/rolex-ref-6567-lot-272-420 Antiquorum] dates case 118,945 to 1955; it falls in the 63,425–139,166 band labeled 1955. [https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6424370 Christie's] dates case 65,560 to circa 1954, within the same band. [https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/rolex-lot-108-63 Antiquorum] dates case 147,691 to 1956, the first number in its next band, and case [https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/rolex-ref-6567-oyster-perpetual-lot-336-263 422,647] to circa 1959, within a band labeled 1958. [https://www.gazette-drouot.com/lots/33816816-rolex-oyster-perpetual-ref---- Gazette Drouot] dates case 358,531 to circa 1958, while Pergola's band containing it is labeled 1957. Pergola's chart is unofficial and auction dates are estimates; these comparisons offer case-level checks, not a 6567 serial range.
