1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Reference 6580

Why This Watch Matters

This Oyster Perpetual boasts a solid case with unusual white honeycomb dial.

The Full Story

This Oyster Perpetual possesses everything we love about Rolex. It has a sturdy and elegant stainless-steel Oyster case with minimal signs of wear. The bezel on this timepiece is smooth as opposed to its shinier fluted cousin. The best part about this watch though, is the off-white honeycomb dial with 3-6-9 dial configuration. The dial may show a little bit of aging but that’s exactly why we like it. This is a gorgeous vintage Rolex that looks even better on the wrist.

This watch is in honest condition with minimal scratches on the case. The dial has some slight discoloration, particularly around the indexes.
