Don't think they did, but the dial and movement are right for the 1957.
The case, not so much.

Rolex used the 1030 from 1950 to 1957 in the perpetual oysters.
Maybe you got all rolex parts in a hybrid.

It's a highly collectible watch, in a next to perfect state it does around 50k and up. The dial needs a relume.

An Oyster Perpetual with an engine turned bezel and a messed up sub dial in it is worth 50k?

Correct me if wrong, I wrote a big crown in an next to perfect state is worth up to 50k, not this one. And I'm not even an English language native.
