Manufacturer - ROLEX

Year - 1953

Reference - 6085

Movement - Calibre 645

Case Serial - 855862

Material Stainless Steel with YG bezel - 34 mm not including crown

Case, movement, and dial signed

The original dial has turned a seductive peach salmon, and displays attractive and even patina throughout

The original yellow gold dauphine minute and hours hands and (original) blue steel centre second hands are in excellent condition

The case is very good for its age, with surface wear no more typical of a 70 year old watch

The watch comes fitted with a Rolex rivet bracelet ref. 7205 with 60 endlinks, stamped 70

This exceptionally rare watch has undergone a complete service by our trusted watchmaker, and is keeping excellent time. The automatic component of the movement whilst turning freely does not appear to generate sufficient power to run on the auto alone - the manual wind however sustains the watch for anywhere in the region of 36 to 48 hours. Renowned Rolex authority Mike Wood told me whilst in conversation on these watches, that the auto section of these early Oyster Perpetuals were more often than not removed by watchmakers by the 1960s altogether due to their temperamental nature - the entire LA 260 movement however is present (rare in itself), however as advised by mr Wood, this should be treated largely as a manual wind watch.

This is a rare timepiece indeed, and priced with the aforementioned in mind.

I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!

I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.

Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.

Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
