Literature For another example of a yellow gold reference 6510 however fitted with a Jubilee bracelet , please see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger , page 171 .
The present watch , an example from 1956 , was produced the very first year that the Day-Date model was introduced to the market . It is an overall exceptional example . This watch is fitted with a rare and beautiful textured bracelet which we believe is original to the watch . The dial has aged to a warm beige tone , which really adds charisma .
Preserved in excellent condition , this watch still retains its original factory sticker to the case back , and original satin factory finishes to the top of the lugs .
