Lot Essay

The present “Ovettone”, or “big egg” as it is affectionately called by collectors for its large size, is an attractive example of the rare ref. 6105. In generally very good overall condition, its appeal is enhanced by the black dial with gilt graphics and the red date indication.

To commemorate the firm's 40th anniversary in 1945, Rolex introduced a new model which was to become one of the house’s flagships, the celebrated "Datejust". This larger version of the famous "bubble back" was fitted with the new calibre A.296, originally used in reference 5026, the large "bubble back".
