圖錄文章
Throughout Rolex’s history, the "crowned" firm has continued to constantly innovate classic styles established early on in the company’s history. The Datejust is one of the most beloved models in the company, first introduced in 1945, and is still in production today.

The present reference 6305 is highly sought after and rare, as it features a very unusual dial, and remains to be one of the most exclusive Datejusts to date. This example features a red date, and black dial with an uncommon hour marker configuration of diamonds and applied gold daggers, with a similar pattern seen exclusively on full calendar and moon reference 6062. To date, there are only 3 examples of the reference 6062 with a similar dial, including the famed “Bao Dai”.

This watch was originally retailed by Jost in Genova, still retaining the Jost strap, and is accompanied by the original Rolex paperwork. With its coin-edge bezel and strong definition, crisp numbers in between the lugs, this watch is a truly spectacular piece rarely, if ever, seen on the market.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
