It might come as no surprise that the Rolex Datejust is one of our all-time favourite watches. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of offering some exceptionally rare and beautiful executions.
This mid-1950s reference 6605 features a lovely case with the typical reeded steel bezel, all preserved in fine condition.
The true showstopper, however, is the cream matte dial. It features an applied Rolex logo, distinctive “boat”-shaped hour markers, and lume that has aged to a rich mustard tone. Elegant Dauphine hands complete the look; they have been relumed in the past with later tritium zinc-sulphide lume.
This rare Datejust is paired with a beautiful Bulang & Sons leather strap, complementing its warm vintage character perfectly. Inside beats the slow-set movement with its characteristic “butterfly”-shaped rotor, fully checked and regulated by our watchmaker and ready for many years of reliable wear.
We truly love the Datejust, and these early references offer a charm and character that later examples simply can’t replicate.
If this exceptional 6605 speaks to you, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Pieces like this rarely stay available for long—contact us to request additional details or to secure it for your collection.
