	The 6075 is the reference that closes a chapter. Produced from 1950 through 1953 in 36mm yellow gold (most common) and pink gold (rarer), it is the last Big Bubbleback Ovettone to leave the factory without the word "Datejust" on its dial. The successor is the 1953 ref 6105, which picks up the same case, the same family of movement, and adds the script word above six that gives the Datejust its name. Everything the 6105 introduces architecturally is already present on the 6075. The difference is three letters under the chapter ring.		The 6075 is the reference that closes a chapter.

Everything the 6105 introduces architecturally is already present on the 6075. The difference is three letters under the chapter ring.		The 6075 is the reference that closes a chapter.

	== Authentication priorities ==		== Authentication priorities ==

	Movement should be ~~Cal.~~ A.295 ~~(Cal. 740 or Cal. 745 in parts-catalogue form); a later caliber~~, ~~including the A.296 of the 6105, in a 6075 case is a service swap or a misidentification. Dial text reads~~ "Oyster Perpetual" with ~~Chronometer designation above six, and carries no~~ "Datejust" ~~text on a~~ period~~-correct 6075; a dial with "Datejust" text on a 6075 case is either a service replacement from a 6105 or a misidentified reference. The~~ coronet ~~logo~~ is the ~~truncated "~~cut-off~~" form; a full coronet on a 6075 dial warrants scrutiny, as it appears inconsistently and may indicate a later service dial~~. ~~Case material is 18K~~ yellow ~~gold (common)~~ or ~~18K~~ pink gold ~~(rarer)~~, with ~~steel or two-tone not documented for this reference and platinum reserved for ref 6074. The bezel is fine~~ milled ~~or reeded gold (the~~ Datejust ~~fluted-~~bezel ~~precursor), with no smooth~~ or ~~polished variants documented~~. ~~Dial feet position is specific to~~ A~~.295, so a~~ 6075 dial ~~on an A.296 movement~~ is ~~not period-correct. Bracelet is Jubilee~~ or ~~Oyster in matching gold; period-correct original-delivery bracelets are uncommon, and service-replacement Jubilees are common and not disqualifying~~.		Authentication on the 6075 is straightforward. Movement should be A.295, dial should read "Oyster Perpetual" with chronometer text but not "Datejust," and the period coronet is the cut-off style. Cases are 18k yellow or pink gold only, with the early milled Datejust bezel and matching Jubilee or Oyster bracelets when bracelet-fitted. A 6075 with later Datejust dial text or a later caliber is a service swap or a misidentified watch.
