Rolex produced the Veriflat in 1954 to fill the void in their production of a sports-type dress watch. The Veriflat is significantly thinner than other Oysters and has a recessed knurled water resistant-type back to help to facilitate this. This watch was not produced in huge numbers and is one of the rarer models produced by Rolex.
