This specific 1957 Datejust Ref. 6605 retains its black gilt "Pie Pan" dial which is sought after among collectors. The case is sharp and the lugs are thick, free from any blemishing or scratches. The original coin edged white gold bezel is stunning and original to the watch. This piece would make a great start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex DateJust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication. The watch also just received a complete overhaul and is running flawlessly at COSC spec.
