Reference 6085 in 14-karat yellow gold represents the Oyster Perpetual in a specific chapter of Rolex's mid-century history, before 18-karat gold became the house standard. The 34mm case, champagne sunburst dial with applied markers, and brown leather strap compose an image of understated dress watch elegance that holds up entirely against contemporary sizing preferences. The older dial reprint and case polishing are period-appropriate conditions for a watch of this age, not impediments to collecting it.

Property Sold As-Is
Please be aware that all lots are sold "As Is". We do not guarantee that the lot is in pristine condition or devoid of imperfections, or wear and tear that is consistent with the age of the item. Watches, unless still in original packaging or never worn, will likely have some degree of wear and scratches. This should be expected for many of the watches offered in auction. Even if a watch is running, bidders and buyers should expect that all movements will require maintenance. Watches are not guaranteed to be keeping time. It falls under the buyer's responsibility to inspect the lot or request additional photos and condition details prior to bidding.
