Rolex Datejust Ref. 6824 31 mm

The midsize Rolex Datejust (31mm) is a real fan-favourite. It was produced in much smaller numbers than the corresponding Lady (26mm) and Full-size (36mm) counterparts though, making it highly sought-after today. And we are happy to share a beautiful example!

This one, dating back to 1974 is executed in all 18k yellow gold and fitted with a handmade strap from our private label, with an original 18k Rolex buckle. So not only the size is rare, but the smooth golden bezel instead of fluted is also not common. A real elegant and classy watch!

Come and admire this beauty at Reestraat 3 in Amsterdam.

Backstory

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic watch designs ever made. We try not to use the term “iconic” too liberally, but it is surely justified here. Launched back in 1945 as the Ref. 4467, the design has been only marginally updated every now and then. And it has looked fresh and current ever since.

When it comes to vintage, two generations of Datejust are particularly popular; the Ref. 16xx and the later five-digit references. The 16xx models were made from the fifties until  roughly 1978 and feature a beautifully dimensional pie-pan dial. Many of these came on folded jubilee bracelets and they did not yet feature a quickset date.

When the reference was updated to five digits around 1978, the pie-pan dial was replaced by a flat dial. The caliber was updated to now feature a quickset date. A decade later, in 1988, a new update saw the introduction of a sapphire crystal. For us, this is where vintage Datejust becomes modern Datejust.

Countless variations can be found. Different bezels, bracelets, dial colors, sizes and materials. The Datejust is one of the most beloved and versatile watches around. If you are looking for a one-watch-collection, that works equally well with shorts as it does with a three-piece suit, the Datejust is probably a pretty safe bet!
