Historical Context
The Rolex Datejust ref. 6604 belongs to the early generations of the iconic model introduced in 1945. During the 1950s, the Datejust established itself as an elegant and innovative timepiece, thanks to the automatic movement and the instantly recognizable Cyclops date magnifier. Examples featuring an original tropical dial are today among the most sought-after configurations, particularly when preserved in exceptional condition like this 1957 piece. A rare and historically significant Datejust of remarkable charm.
