Rolex 1955 Datejust Brevet Case 6305 Double Red Letter strapped Wristwatch.

Rolex 1955 Datejust Brevet Case 6305 Double Red Letter strapped Wristwatch.Rolex Datejust from 1955, a product of the first design era (1945-1957), is a true collector's piece. A testament to this watch is one of the last of its kind that it is lacking the now famous cyclops magnifying glass for the date window.Introduced in 1954 for a few select models, it soon became the new standard for every Rolex with a date. This makes the few remaining non-cyclops Rolex with a date largely desirable.Dial has aged beautifully with its rich golden tone, and honey-like character, both the 'Datejust' and the water rating are written in red, a small detail of great importance to collectors, and which is highly coveted throughout the Rolex lineup. To match the red lettering we also have a red date, all in all creating a very well-balanced dial, the key feature of any vintage Rolex.The case is engraved 'Brevet' which is French for 'patented'. This was later exchanged for alternative options, and yet again demonstrates the collectability of the watch.All this is rounded off with a raised plexiglass and the world-famous fluted bezel of the Datejust line, which makes for an iconic silhouette that any watch fan could recognise.
