A Turn-O-Graph catalogued under the Datejust family and built in almost no quantity. Sotheby's has recorded four known examples, all carrying serials from the same 320,000 block. What separates it from an ordinary Turn-O-Graph is the bezel: twelve hours rather than sixty minutes, in a typeface used nowhere else, over a silvered dial with centre seconds and a date.
- The sibling reference 6609 was catalogued alongside it.
- The 12-hour rotating bezel and its distinct insert font are the defining features. A standard Turn-O-Graph bezel carries a 60-minute scale.
Before you ask.

How do I check a Rolex 6602 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
