ROLEX 1963 ,Ref 6105 Big Bubbleback 18k Gold Oyster MEN’S WATCH

The Rolex Reference 6105, famously nicknamed the "Ovettone" (Italian for "Big Egg"), is a cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting. It earned its name from its significantly thick, domed case back, which was necessary to house the early Calibre A.296 "Big Bubbleback" automatic movement. While the 6105 was primarily produced in the early 1950s, rare examples appearing in the early 1960s (circa 1963) represent the final evolution of this iconic oversized Datejust. 

For a Rolex Ref. 6105 in amazing condition but missing papers, the current second-hand value generally ranges between $13,500 and $19,000.
