Rolex Datejust 1605 Description
Reference 1605 is an exceptionally rare, decorative model from the 36mm Datejust 16xx series, produced during the 1960s and 1970s. Its primary technical feature, specified by the 05 in the reference number, is a bezel with a ‘Morellis’ finish. This artisanal texture, crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, consists of a fine, hand-hammered or stippled pattern that creates a unique, shimmering effect. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 1575, a non-quickset date automatic chronometer movement. The significance of the Ref. 1605 lies in its status as a texturally unique and artistic Datejust, demonstrating the application of haute-joaillerie finishing techniques on the Datejust platform.
