Throughout their history Rolex has produced only two models of wristwatches with phases of the moon, the references 6062 and 8171. While both models are automatic the reference 8171 features a snap-on back versus the reference 6062 with screw back. Made between 1949 and 1952 the reference 8171 was produced in a small series.
