An early Explorer contemporary with the 6350, on the same automatic calibre A296 and the same domed bubbleback caseback that the rotor's height demanded. Its documented outing is Kangchenjunga: Rolex-gifted examples were worn by Tony Streather and George Band on the 1955 expedition, two years after Everest.

Before you ask.
When was the Rolex 6150 produced?
The 6150 was produced from 1953 to 1959.
What movement does the Rolex 6150 use?
The Rolex 6150 runs the Cal. A296, an automatic movement.
How do I check a Rolex 6150 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.
