Rolex Datejust ‘Mid-size’ 6827 - Steel and Yellow Gold - White Roman Dial

Introduced in 1945 to commemorate Rolex's 40th anniversary, the Datejust remains one of the brand's most enduring and iconic collections. It made horological history as the world's first self-winding wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date at midnight—a feature now considered standard, but revolutionary at the time. This innovation set a new benchmark for how date complications should function in modern wristwatches. In 1957, over a decade after the original Datejust was introduced, Rolex began exploring smaller case sizes with the debut of the first women's model: the 28mm Lady-Datejust. Reference 6827 was introduced in the 1970s as part of the brand's mid-size Datejust line. With its compact 31mm case diameter, it offered a versatile alternative between the classic 36mm Datejust and the smaller ladies' models. Powered by an in-house automatic movement, it upholds the hallmark precision and reliability synonymous with the Datejust name. The present example is crafted in Steel and 14K Yellow gold and fitted with the classic Oyster bracelet, combining robustness and elegance. Its white dial with Roman numeral indices offers a refined and timeless aesthetic, perfectly balancing legibility and sophistication. Preserved in excellent condition, this mid-size Datejust datable 1975, represents a rare and compelling example of Rolex's enduring craftsmanship. Offered as a watch only, it exemplifies the versatile elegance and technical reliability that have made the Datejust a true icon over decades.
