You want to date a bubble back? Buy it a cup of coffee and have some good conversation.

In all seriousness, this isn't a bubbleback, it has a cal. 1066, which is from the later '50s. You can date the watch by identifying the case serial number between the lugs at 6:00. On the opposite side between the lugs is the case reference number. Is this a solid gold 6605 Datejust, by chance?

Use this SN chart to date your watch:
