Identity

A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

No designation is recorded for this design yet.

IIIExecutions — 1 article

No source in this corpus states which grade any Rolex 3085 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.

evidence: unknown

no source states which grade this article was bought at — this row exists so 'unknown' stays countable instead of becoming an assumption

Lineage

The same relationships as the tree at the top of this page, with their sources. An absence in a column means no source stated one.

None recorded. An absence here means no source stated one, not that none exists.

Descendants · 2

What came from it — revisions, variants, clones, licensed copies.

Stored in a different table from descent. A successor is not a child.

  • Rolex 3075
    successor of

    Recorded as commercial succession only, and even that with a caveat the source supplies: the 3085 launched ALONGSIDE the 3075 in 1982 rather than after it, and the GMT-Master line ran on until ref. 16700 was phased out in 1999. No source consulted states that the 3085 derives from the 3075, so no lineage edge is authored.
