On offer from my personal collection is this classic Rolex reference 6605 Oyster Perpetual Datejust with solid 18 karat yellow gold case, semi-coin edge milled bezel and super elegant and scarce non-luminous dial & hands. This circa 1958-9 gold Datejust has been in my collection since 2009 and has acquired a lovely case patina, since I have never so much as buffed it and it’s been worn sparingly throughout that time. It comes equipped with its original 18k Rolex-signed buckle mounted on a genuine modern Rolex dark brown crocodile strap, two very valuable accessories in their own right. Overall, this beautiful gold DJ is in Excellent vintage condition for an over 60-year-old gold watch, with fantastic Near Mint dial & hands, and its uncommon caliber 1066 movement with butterfly rotor is running like a champ.
With its semi-coin edge bezel, classy mid-century markers and dauphine hands, the 6605 Datejust represents the end of an era in Rolex design language, as the 1960s saw them homogenize their dress watch line with the sticks hands, stick markers and fluted bezels that we know today. IMO, you can put this particular Datejust up against any Patek of the era in terms of elegance and purity of design, and the 18 karat 6605 also represents the top of the pyramid, as these gold versions were also made in 14k and even 9k depending on the market.
The asking price for this classic vintage Rolex 18k Datejust 6605 with beautiful & rare no-lume dial is $9,875 USD, which includes fully insured shipping worldwide. Bank Wire/direct transfer greatly preferred on this watch. Other forms of payment upon application. Payment must be made in US DOLLARS. Watch will ship upon full clearance of the funds, as well as any necessary bank vetting. Feel free to contact me via DM or at [email protected] or [email protected]
CASE & BACK: Classically proportioned 36mm x 44mm x around 10mm thick to the top of the crystal 18 karat gold Oyster case that wears a bit bigger due to the prominent, finely milled semi-coin edge bezel and the wonderfully proportioned dial design. The case is thick and even, as is the knurling of the bezel, and both have developed a lovely iridescent patina to their gold surfaces over time, which adds that extra bit of true vintage charm to the watch. This vintage Rolex gold case correctly does not have any lug holes. The sides and lugs have acquired some minor scratches and marks from wear but no major dings — Excellent vintage condition for an over 60-year old gold watch. There is wear between the lugs from the years but the correct model number “6605” and the complete case serial number of 474,xxx are still sharp and legible. The correct flat outer caseback has some superficial scratches to what looks like the original brushed finish but no real nicks or major tool marks to speak of, and nice, crisp knurling is present— again, Excellent vintage cosmetic condition overall. The inner caseback is very clean and bears the correct "6605" reference and all Rolex nomenclature of the period, including the hallmarks for 18 karat gold.
DIAL & HANDS: Absolutely stunning gold sunburst pie pan dial with beautiful faceted yellow gold arrow and tri-bar markers in remarkable Near Mint condition for its age. Most notably, this dial is a rare non-luminous version for an extra clean and elegant presentation. The original black dial print is crisp and intact and the matching no-lume dauphine hands are likewise Near Mint, with only minor signs of age. The date wheel is also the correct hue with open 6s and 9s. Simply a stunning dress watch design from what many consider Rolex’s golden age and pure golden magic on the wrist!
CROWN: Signed gold Rolex Twinlock crown is cosmetically Excellent, screws down properly and pulls out to the winding and time-setting positions as it should.
CRYSTAL: Older, rounded-bevel acrylic Cyclops crystal has been previously polished and has only a few residual scuffs but is clear and without chips or nicks — Excellent vintage condition.
MOVEMENT: This 6605 features Rolex's excellent cal. 1066 25-jewel automatic Chronometer-grade movement originally adjusted to 5 positions and temperature. This is the last of the 10xx series of movements, the direct precursor to the legendary 15xx family, and was only produced from about 1955 until 1959. As you can see, this example has its original “butterfly” rotor, a cool little extra period detail. I had the watch serviced some years ago and it is still keeping excellent time, with a good power reserve and the trademark instantaneous date change at midnight. Guaranteed to be functioning properly at the time of shipment.
STRAP: This great gold Datejust comes on a newer, lightly worn genuine Rolex crocodile strap in a deep glossy brown and its original 18k gold Rolex buckle that obviously suit the watch beautifully. Please be aware that for non-U.S. buyers, it may not be possible to export this exotic strap. You will, of course, still get the signed gold buckle and a nice leather strap. This Datejust has a 20mm lug width.
As a matter of policy I make NO guarantees for the water resistance of this watch in any way, shape or form.
This classic, guaranteed genuine Rolex 6605 Datejust is offered with a 3-day inspection period from the date of receipt and may be returned for a full refund (less any shipping costs incurred by the buyer). This refund is unconditional and once I get back the watch in exactly the same condition as it was sent to you, your money will be refunded. Of course, once the 3 days are over the sale will be considered FINAL.
Thanks for looking,
T.
