1957 Rolex Two-Tone Datejust (Ref. 6605) W/ Roulette Date Wheel
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved made by Rolex. Launched in 1945, it remains a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of superior quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a t-shirt. The Datejust would make a great start for a new vintage collector and is always a great addition to an expanding collection.
This specific 1957 Two-Tone Datejust Ref. 6605 has survived in remarkable condition, from the strong case, clean dial, full lume plots, dauphine hands, and original roulette date wheel, this piece would be a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex Datejust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication.
