Hey Guys,
I found a nice vintage rolex that I would like to buy. I informed myself online but can't really find anything about the reference of this watch.

I was hoping that you experts can give me some more infos.
Below some details and pics:

It a Rolex Oyster Perpetial.
36mm
year: 1956
inside the back it's 6350 and 6352.

They told me that all parts are original. Can you confirm this?
Why does it have two reference numbers? is that bad? is this less valuable?

Thanks a lot for your help!! :)
ps: I loofa this watch!!

It wasn't unusual for Rolex to use the same caseback on more than one model.. Usually they lined through one number and stamped the other, but not always..

If it fit, Rolex used it.

Yup, rolex will use any parts that is correct : interchangeable even the part no dont match

Eg. 5513 from 80s still use 5512 caseback

Looks right. The dial is hard to tell from that photo but one could assume it is original.

It is a legit style of dial for that watch and it is marked Swiss which is correct for the year if it is indeed 1956. The crown would have a + sign but they are very often changed in service.

Calibre A 296. Big Bubbleback.
