Model: Oyster Perpetual Reference: 6285 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Yellow Gold Year: 1955 Movement: Automatic Caliber: 645 Case N°: 93779 Dimensions: 34 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement Incredibly understated yet impossibly glamorous, the present watch is a sight to behold. This rarely seen model, reference 6285, most notably features an incredibly charming dial. It is indeed a demonstration of the highest craftsmanship: the outer ring has the always appreciated yellow color with corrugated guilloché contours, internally the rarest peculiarity: a particularly impressive black lacquered with gold hour markers for the hour and applied dot-minute track. This special decoration is further enhanced by the gold lettering and Dauphin hands. Its overall original condition with a sharp hallmark on the back, as well as the sharp milling on the bezel and back, delight in equal measures and strikes the eyes even of the neophytes. This model is nowadays very difficult to find and the present lot is probably one of the nicest ever produced by Rolex for its special configurations of the dial. With the typical Oyster case to prevent the water entering in the movement, this watch is equipped with a tile bracelet with very thin linen decoration and an unusual, rare and striking alternative to classic Oyster models.
