Rolex Submariner 6204

The Rolex Submariner 6204 holds a legendary place in watch history as the very first Submariner ever released, debuting in 1953. With its slim 37mm stainless steel case, pencil-style hands, and minimalist black dial, the 6204 set the foundation for what would become the world’s most iconic dive watch. Water-resistant to 100 meters and powered by the early automatic Caliber A260, it lacked crown guards and featured a rotating bezel designed for timing dives—revolutionary at the time. As the original Submariner, the 6204 is a true grail for vintage collectors, representing the birth of Rolex’s most celebrated tool watch lineage.
