It is a 6609 1958 with a original gold bracelet serial number 32xxxx. It had a Service dial change in the early 80s by Rolex

Hear is similar I found on the web http://rolexpassionmarket.com/watche...aino-ref-6609/

Very nice pictures! Gold is indeed a beautiful metal, it's only normal that it attracts cats...
