Dial and hands have charmingly aged - the gentle patina lends the watch a particularly attractive vintage effect.
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 rose gold example features a charmingly aged, silvered dial with red numerals on the date disc – a marvellous timepiece for a discerning collector or for a lover of fine watches.
