The 6085 is a 1950s Oyster Perpetual built around a textured "waffle" honeycomb dial, the same dial vocabulary the reference shares with its steel sibling [[Reference:6098|6098]]. A documented example dates the reference to circa 1951, on a 34mm stainless steel case, cal A260 automatic movement, and a cream honeycomb-textured dial with 3-6-9 numerals under an engine-turned bezel. A separately listed 18ct gold example confirms the reference was also offered in precious metal, though its own case and dial details were not independently recovered. | The 6085 is a 1950s Oyster Perpetual built around a textured "waffle" honeycomb dial, the same dial vocabulary the reference shares with its steel sibling [[Reference:6098|6098]].
