Description

This Rolex Datejust Reference 6604, dating back to 1958, is a fine example of this watch family early production. The Datejust, first introduced in 1945, revolutionized wristwatch design by being the first automatic wristwatch with a date window that changed instantly at midnight. This specific reference, the 6604, is among the early iterations of the Datejust, showcasing Rolex’s commitment to innovation and timeless elegance.

By the 1950s, the Datejust solidified its place as one of Rolex’s most iconic models, embodying luxury and technical innovation. The 6604 reference stands out for its robust design, clean aesthetics, and the introduction of the Rolex caliber 1065, making it a milestone in the evolution of the Datejust.

The case is made of stainless steel, measuring 35.8mm in diameter, a size that provides both presence and comfort on the wrist. The smooth bezel complements the clean lines of the case, while the screw-down case back ensures water resistance. The case retains its original polish, displaying minor wear consistent with age, which adds to its vintage character without compromising its elegance.

At the heart of this timepiece is the Rolex Caliber 1065, a self-winding movement designed for precision and reliability. The caliber features a bi-directional rotor, which enhances efficiency in winding, and a Roulette black and red date mechanism that became a hallmark of the Datejust series. Known for its robustness and accuracy, the 1065 movement represents Rolex’s technical mastery during this era and remains a significant achievement in horological history.

The silver-tone dial with baton hour markers and dauphine hands, exudes mid-century sophistication. The iconic date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens, is perfectly legible. The dial is in excellent vintage condition, with a light patina that enhances its authenticity and charm. 

The watch is fitted with a quality new red alligator strap, adding a touch of modern flair while maintaining its vintage aesthetic. The strap is secured with a Rolex steel buckle.
