Reference 6105 is not only one of the rarest of the vintage Rolex models but also one of the most wearable and striking designs - thanks to its generous proportions. It is one of the first DATEJUSTS and the large version of the Bubble Back, the Ovettone (large bubble), as the collectors like to call it. This rare example stands out because of its charmingly aged gilded dial with the red "officially" signature and the red date disc - it is certainly a perfect addition to any Rolex collection.
