1951 Rolex Oyster Perpetual In 18k Rose Gold

Description

Here is an all-original and uncommon red-letter ref. 6085, 18k solid-rose-gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual semi-bubbleback dating to 1951 (serial# 809XXX). The 34mm solid-gold case is in fine shape with the usual wear on the engine-turned bezel (mainly at the 12:00 position). This guilloche dial is completely original and has the word “OFFICIALLY” written in red, which makes this a very rare dial that we have not seen prior on any 6085! The dial has aged to a yellowish tone and retains its original triangular, rose-gold markers and matching hands. This fine and rare Rolex even retains its original Super-Oyster winding crown (only used for two years). These crowns did not screw down and did not offer the same water resistance and were promptly discontinued after a very short run. The rotor, automatic Rolex semi-bubbleback movement is keeping accurate time.
