The 6031 is a one-year 1949 reference and the pink-gold twin of ref 6030. Under the narrow dealer reading of "true Ovettone" it sits alongside the [[Reference:4467|4467]], 6074, and [[Reference:6075|6075]] as the only pink-gold entry in that four-reference cluster. Architecturally it returns to the 4467 idiom after the experimental 5030/5031 pair. The curved case flanks are back, the fine milled bezel is back, and the movement is still Cal. A.295. What is new is the slightly larger crown and the settling of the Ovettone form into the shape it holds for the rest of the pre-Datejust-text era. | The 6031 is a one-year 1949 reference and the pink-gold twin of ref 6030.
