1952-53 Oyster Perpetual 6085

A vintage Rolex with strong collector appeal, this Oyster Perpetual reference 6085 dates to circa 1952–53 and is crafted in 18k yellow gold. The classic Bubbleback case retains strong hallmarks and is framed by an engine-turned bezel, while the “Super Oyster Rolex” signed push-down crown is an interesting period detail.

The dial has developed a warm patina, with gentle discoloration radiating outward from the luminous plots. Faceted arrow hour markers add dimension, while the quarter markers incorporate center lume echoed by the luminous hands.

Powered by a Rolex automatic movement, the watch is fitted with a brown alligator strap and Rolex gold-plated tang buckle. Crisp caseback serrations and well-defined hallmarks add to the appeal of this wonderfully aged early Oyster Perpetual.
