Rolex Day-Date 6611B Rose Gold - Tropical Gilt

This is a very special and ultra-rare Rolex Day-Date 6611B with a tropical gilt dial in a rose gold case.

Before we get into the rare features, we want to express the beauty of this vintage watch first. The stunning tropical dial invites us to travel back in time and tells its unique life story through its natural patina. Housed in a rose gold case with a delicate bezel and elegant President bracelet, it creates a harmonious, aesthetic overall picture that makes our hearts beat faster.

The rarity, or rather the uniqueness, of this watch is due to the combination of several rare features. First and foremost, the reference 6611B is one of the rarest Day-Date models in the history of Rolex. Reference 6611 was introduced in 1957. One year later, the 6611B came onto the market with the additional letter "B" and featured the improved 1055 movement. After just one year, this ultra-rare reference was replaced by the 1803.

The second major rarity is the rose gold case material, as most examples were in yellow and white gold.

And last but not least, the watch features a gilt glossy dial with a unique tropical patina. The original black glossy dial with gold-colored print developed a warm, brown-red chestnut color. This discoloration is the result of years of exposure to sunlight and other environmental influences. An even patina, as on this watch, is particularly rare. It reflects the great age of the watch and is a sign of authenticity and originality.

The combination of these features makes this Rolex Day-Date ultra-rare and leaves us, as passionate vintage watch enthusiasts, just speechless especially in combination with its magnificent look.
