Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust remains an enduring icon, still in production today. Originally sparking a revolution in watchmaking, it was the first automatic timepiece to feature an instantaneous date display—a groundbreaking innovation that has become a standard we now often overlook. Over the years, the Datejust has retained its place in Rolex’s catalog, with countless references crafted throughout its rich history. The reference 6605 is among the highly coveted Rolex Datejust models. Introduced in 1956 and discontinued just three years later in 1959, it is equipped with the automatic caliber 1066 and features an instantaneous date display. Made available in steel, gold, or like the present example pink gold, this reference holds a special place in the history of the Datejust collection. This particular example is preserved in excellent overall condition, with strong proportions and crisp, deep case back hallmarks. To further enhance the beauty of this specific timepiece is the matching pink gold Jubilee bracelet with big logo clasp. The present Rolex reference 6605 is further accompanied by a plethora of interesting documentation, including a Chronometer certificate, Bulletin de Marche, and various correspondence.
