OYSTER PERPETUAL Ref. 6085

During the 1950s, Rolex produced a variety of time-only wristwatches fitted with very attractive and unusual dials. These watches featured larger case diameters giving the watch much greater presence on the wrist. The present watch, cased in pink gold, is fitted with a black lacquer dial and a pink-gold Rolex brick-link bracelet.

The bottom of the dial is signed ‘Swiss’, which is correct for a 1950s watch. The amazing black lacquer dial itself has been preserved in excellent condition, having retained its glossy appearance for over sixty years since its manufacture. The case, which has also been retained in excellent condition, features full and robust proportions.
