Or, as Rolex itself called it, “Veriflat”. How flat? Just 8–9 mm thick, while measuring a neat 34 mm across — the thinnest Oyster case Rolex had to offer at the time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo why did Rolex make it? Quite simply, to create a slim and elegant dress watch while retaining the rugged protection of the waterproof Oyster case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Veriflat was produced exclusively in precious metals, including yellow and pink gold. Rolex developed its manual-winding calibre 1000 specifically for the model, essentially taking the automatic calibre 1030 and removing the rotor to create a wonderfully slim movement. In rare cases, Rolex fitted these movements with chronometer certification — and this watch is one of those special examples.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut this particular 6512 is extra, extra special.

But the real showstopper is the “Amtlich Geprüfter Chronometer” text printed at 12 o’clock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe simply cannot recall seeing this unusual German designation on another ref. 6512. “Amtlich Geprüfter Chronometer” translates roughly as “Officially Tested Chronometer” and points towards chronometer certification for the German-speaking market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 34 mm 18k gold case is in lovely condition and is fitted with one of our Bulang \u0026amp; Sons leather straps and buckles.
