For sale original Rolex watch, reference 6105, produced in the early 1950s and attributable to the year 1951 based on the serial number.

Case in stainless steel with screw-down Bubble Back case back, 36 mm diameter excluding the crown, an innovative size for the era and destined to become the standard of the Datejust. Bezel in Gold. Rolex crown.
Original dial of the period with date window at 3 o'clock, applied indices and graphics consistent with production from the early 1950s. Uniform patina present, compatible with the age of the watch. Correct hands for the period. Plexiglass crystal.
