1957 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Early Datejust Concentric Silver Dial 6605
A fantastic condition 1957 Rolex Oyster Perpetual early Datejust, reference 6605, featuring a very nice concentric silver dial and an 18k white gold fluted bezel. This classic timepiece is known for its timeless elegance and versatile style. The reference 6605 often features the distinctive "Roulette" date wheel, showcasing alternating red and black numerals—odd dates in red and even dates in black—adding a playful yet classic touch to its mid-century charm. This example comes on an original stamped 1957 Rolex stainless steel jubilee bracelet complementing the stainless steel case beautifully, making it suitable for both formal and casual occasions.
The Rolex Datejust reference 6605, produced in the early to mid-1950s, is a highly collectible and elegant vintage timepiece that marked a significant evolution in the Datejust lineage. Distinguished by its refined 36mm Oyster case, the 6605 features a fluted bezel crafted in 18k white gold, lending a subtle contrast against the stainless steel case and reinforcing Rolex’s signature blend of durability and luxury. Powered by the early chronometer-certified caliber 1065 automatic movement, it introduced improvements in reliability and performance over its predecessors. This reference also showcased a very early and rare concentric silver dial and a modest cyclops lens over the date window—elements that have become hallmarks of the Datejust design. The 6605 captures the transitional spirit of 1950s Rolex, bridging pre-modern watchmaking with the brand’s emerging iconic style.
