Manufactured in 1958, this Rolex Oyster “Datejust” Ref. 6604 features a rare powder white dial. Sharing the same dial style found on Pre-Daytona models from the same era, the powder white dial showcases a distinctly 1950s design with bullet indexes paired with dolphin hands. Details unique to this period — such as the embossed “DATEJUST” lettering and the red-and-black roulette date calendar — create an exceptional piece that allows one to fully appreciate the level of craftsmanship rarely seen in later models.
Unlike the fluted or turned bezels commonly found during this era, this example is fitted with a rare smooth bezel. The watch also displays a wonderfully aged vintage character, with attractive patina that enhances its overall charm and atmosphere.
