{Study} Rolex Datejust ref.6605 in pink gold.

MEN WHO WEAR PINK

The last of the Ovettone. Yes, we can all just thank the Italians for every significant nickname in watch collecting at this point. “Ovettone” meaning little egg in Italian, classifies a series of references that bridged the gap between bubble backs and your standard screw back four-digit Datejust. For the ladder half of the 20th century, Bubble backs & Ovettoni’ sat at the forefront of collectors minds and auction results. Now, Ovettone are beginning to get their legs back under them but with the caveat of price “sporadicism”. With 6605’s, above all, condition and dial marks remain supreme when deciphering price.

This specific example dates back to 1957 and is executed in p.g (yes, I’ll acronym pink gold). Yes, the dial does not show signs of major cleaning..but maybe not in a good way. Outside of that, the case is great with hallmarks intact. Sweet.
