Notes
The case of this watch is practically identical to that of reference 6015. The only difference between them is the winding-crown: reference 5015 bears an "Oyster" winding-crown, ref. 6015 a "Super-Oyster" crown.Similar watches are published in "Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches" by Osvaldo Patrizzi, Guido Mondani Editore, Genova, 2001, pp. 153 and 378.
