The Rolex model 6605 started early mid 1950s with the Caliber 1065 movement and would have what they call the butterfly rotor.Your serial number 386829 would date your watch second quarter of 1958.

Padi seems to be saying that the number you list as the model is in fact the serial. so the "9" at the end has no relevance as far as whether the watch is white or yellow gold?
