We are proud to present this very good Artisans de Genève Tribute to 6536, Ref. 262652A-11—an exquisitely hand-crafted reinterpretation of one of the most important early Rolex Submariner references. Completed in 2019, this masterfully executed piece combines traditional Swiss watchmaking with contemporary independent customization, offering an exclusive opportunity to own a timepiece that honors vintage heritage while embracing modern artisanal craftsmanship.

Artisans de Genève is celebrated for its uncompromising attention to detail and its bespoke, artisanal approach to watch modification. Their Tribute to 6536 pays homage to the legendary “Small Crown” Submariner of the 1950s, a reference revered by collectors for its purity, minimalism, and historical importance. This creation retains the essence of that iconic design while elevating it through meticulous hand-finished elements and modern technical refinement.

The watch features a stunning Tropic-style dial, characterized by its warm vintage patina, gilt-inspired accents, and minimalistic layout that captures the spirit of early Submariner aesthetics. The small crown configuration enhances the watch’s vintage silhouette, emphasizing the clean, compact proportions that made the original 6536 so desirable. Crafted in stainless steel with refined brushing and polished details, the case delivers both durability and timeless elegance.

Inside, the customized movement has been carefully regulated and decorated by Artisans de Genève’s skilled craftsmen, ensuring exceptional precision and mechanical beauty. Paired with a classic steel bracelet, the watch offers a perfect fusion of modern reliability and vintage-inspired charm.
