Description

GORGEOUS VINTAGE ROLEX IN SOLID 18K! PRE PRESIDENTIAL COLLECTIBLE MODEL

 

Thinking of buying an all gold Rolex?  Look no further, this one comes with a full two year warranty, the same offered with a new Rolex, yet the price tag is over 70% less!  And, even better is the fact that this watch is highly collectible and sure to increase in value!  This vintage Datejust is priced at $3950, over 70% off the cost of a new Datejust in 18k with a crocodile strap!

Most people are scared off when looking into the world of Vintage watches, especially when the vast majority of watches have no guarantee, and no service history!  This watch, like all the watches I sell will be accompanied by a signed letter from an authorized Rolex watchmaker attesting to his overhauling of the watch, and it's two year warranty!  In addition to the full service, all worn parts were replaced, new  gaskets were installed as well as a new crown and crystal.  Only original new factory Rolex parts were used.  A high quality Crocodile band in dark blue was installed.  The colour of the band really sets off the watch, and makes for an amazing combination! 

On request, I will bring the watch to my watchmaker to be opened so that pictures of the movement and inner caseback can be taken. 

The full two year warranty covers the mechanical functioning of the watch, and would obviously void in cases of abuse, tampering, or being opened by anyone aside from my authorized Rolex watchmaker.

The case, is a reference 6605 with both Serial, and Reference numbers clearly visible between the lugs.  This case was polished for the first time ever during it's recent service, and is in like new condition!  The threads on the case back show between no wear, and only minimal wear!  The crown is brand new, and is a correct period NOS Rolex crown in solid 18k gold.  All hallmarks, as well as markings on the inside of the case are easily visible and not the least bit obliterated. 

 

The Butterfly Rotor movement runs beautifully, and has just undergone a full service.  The movement is in excellent condition, keeping time to within just a few seconds each day!  This movement is more accurate than most modern Rolex movements!

 

The original Dial is in amazing condition, with only a very light patina.  This dial is the early Pie-pan variety, with a folded edge, and is centered by the original hands which are also in beautiful condition.  This watch also has it's original 'Roulette' date wheel, a scarce find that makes this watch even more unique and collectible!  The date numbers alternate between Red on the even days, and Black on odd days!

 

Overall, this is one of the finest vintage Datejusts that I have ever seen, and an extremely collectible model being a Pre Presidential watch!

📖 About This Reference

Rolex Datejust Reference 6605 The Rolex Datejust reference 6605 represents the platinum iteration within the Datejust collection. This reference features a silver dial configuration and positions itself as the precious metal variant of the model line during its production period from 1956 to 1977. The 36mm case is constructed entirely from platinum, fitted with a smooth bezel and acrylic crystal. The automatic caliber 1065 movement provides a 48-hour power reserve, housed within a case offering 100-meter water resistance. The watch is completed with a platinum bracelet, maintaining material consistency throughout the timepiece. This reference appeals to collectors seeking platinum Rolex timepieces from the mid-20th century production era.

I'm with the golden team tonight.
Denmark plays Wales tonight in the european soccer championship. A 1957 6605 is a festive,- and auspicious choice I hope. Good luck to Wales. Yours Jacob/Copenhagen
