Rolex Datejust ref 6605 SS/14K YG Tropical Pie Pan Dial circa 1959

An especially pleasing example vintage Rolex Datejust ref 6605 case serial# 459,xxx circa 1959. Featuring a 36mm stainless steel case with fine 14K yellow gold milled bezel, acrylic crystal, and with original, richly patina’d pie pan dial with applied tapered gold indexes and tapered gilt hands.

The color of this dial is not a subtle color change. The dial has turned from the original champagne color to a rich and quite intense honey, or if you prefer amber color. The bezel is the original finely milled bezel which lends a softer, more vintage appearance than the later more scalloped fluted bezel design.

Powered by 17 jewel self winding 1065 calibre movement with sweep seconds and date. Recently fully serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

As you are probably aware, we are keen on the unique one of a kind trappings of tropical dials. This example is quite a standout for someone looking for an early model datejust with lots and lots of character.

We have now fitted this model with a non cyclops crystal for a cleaner look without the distraction of the date magnifying cyclops. Revised photos to be posted shortly or available on request.

Fitted with your choice of fine or sporty leather strap for a great vintage look. Recently serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

Your purchase includes our signature fine leather watch pouch, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 value.
