Even the people way in the back should know by now: we LOVE DATEJUSTS. There’s no occasion a Datejust can’t handle—it truly does it all.

That’s why we always look for special versions, like this reference 6605 in steel. The case is in lovely condition, as is the finely reeded early bezel—we love it! We're particularly fond of the thicker case back on these early models, as it gives more wrist presence than later versions.

The “Swiss” only dial features very cool arrow-shaped hour markers, a rarer circular finish, and crisp black printed text—topped off with a roulette date wheel, with even numbers in red and odd numbers in black. The hands are dauphine style, and the lume plots have been relumed at some point. The folded Jubilee bracelet, reference 62151H, has end links marked 55 and a clasp stamped 4/57.This fine and rare Datejust has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

If you’ve been hunting for a characterful vintage Datejust with real charm and presence, this Ovettone is a standout. Don’t wait—get in touch to make it yours!
