Rolex Oyster-Perpetual 6285 with Honeycomb Red Writing Dial in 18K Yellow Gold and Original Warranty Papers
The Inside Story
We love to find you guys rare and slightly under-the-radar watches!
At hand, we have just that: an 18K yellow gold Oyster Perpetual. While not a rare watch by itself, this particular example features a very seldom-seen honeycomb dial with red "Officially Certified Chronometer" (OCC) lettering on the lower half. The watch comes in a 34mm case with an unusual milled bezel combo. As this is an early example of the Oyster Perpetual, it has the so-called “bubble back” case, giving it a more prominent presence on the wrist, plus a ‘BREVET’ (another term for "Patent") engraved between the lugs.
The dial is in lovely condition, with a beautiful, even patina, a black minute track, and cool dauphine hands. The watch is paired with a high-quality Bulang & Sons leather strap and a Rolex plaque pin buckle. Included in the sale are the original "Chronometer" paper, the super rare "Swim Proof Tag," and a hang tag—a super cool set! This fine watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
If you're in the market for a unique gold nugget from Rolex's stable—something your neighbor definitely doesn’t own—this is the one! Get in touch.

Each vintage timepiece is individually selected and carefully inspected by our team of experts. After we buy a watch it is mechanically inspected and fully checked by our watchmaker. If necessary, the movement will be fully serviced and tested to ensure it is running to our exacting standards.
We will always describe the watch as fully as we can in our sales texts. Our zoomable images are of the highest possible quality and form an important part of each watch’s description. We will never hide or cover up any element of any watch we sell.
Key to our unparalleled service is Fedex Priority shipping, fully insured. Once you have received your watch, we encourage you to inspect it thoroughly. If you are not 100% satisfied, please let us know. We offer a 14 days return policy. Simply return the watch to get a full refund of the original purchase price.
Our Warranty
We offer a one-year warranty on the mechanical function of the watch, starting from the day of purchase. We do not guarantee the waterproof nature of any (vintage) watch, unless expressly made in writing. Therefore, our warranty will not cover any damage done to the case and/or movement by water or moisture entering the watch. Our warranty does not apply to accidental damage or mishandling of your watch and does not extend to the bracelet, case parts (including pushers, winding stem, crown and bezel), watch glass, dial and hands.
