Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6565 Sector Dial for sale

Description ▲

This 1955 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6565 embodies the timeless design that defined Rolex watches of that era - a harmonious blend of classic elegance and technical sophistication.

Introduced in the 1950s, the Reference 6565 was one of the first Rolex watches to feature the automatic Caliber 1030 - one of the first self-winding movements developed entirely in-house by Rolex. This groundbreaking caliber marked a significant milestone in watchmaking history, setting new standards for precision and reliability.

This particular example features a beautiful cream and beige dial, housed in the iconic 34mm Oyster case. The unrestored cross-hair dial, divided into four symmetrical sectors has developed a charming vintage patina. The elegant hands consist of Dauphine hands paired with a delicate blued seconds hand, adding depth and refinement to the dial. The overall balanced and symmetrical design emphasizes the watch's understated sophistication, while the "engine-turned" bezel adds a subtle sporty touch.

Another distinctive feature is the riveted stretch stainless steel bracelet, which offers exceptional comfort thanks to its flexible construction, ensuring a perfect fit on the wrist.

A timepiece of rare beauty that seamlessly combines vintage charm, technical innovation and timeless style.
