This timepiece, dating back to the prestigious year of 1978, embodies the classic luxury and craftsmanship for which Rolex is praised worldwide. It is not just a watch; it is a piece of history that fits perfectly on the wrist. The case is crafted from solid 18-karat yellow gold, lending the watch an unmistakable and warm appearance.
What makes this model extra special is the iconic President bracelet), which is synonymous with comfort and the highest elegance. The combination of the gleaming gold and the bracelet’s distinctive design makes this a true showpiece.
The history of the House of Rolex is one of pioneering innovation. Since its founding in the early 20th century, Rolex has transformed the world of watchmaking, with milestones such as the invention of the Oyster case – the world’s first waterproof wristwatch case. The Datejust line, introduced in 1945, was a revolution in itself, being the first self-winding (automatic) chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window on the dial.
What makes the date readability on this specific model – the Rolex Datejust – so unique is the famous Cyclops lens. This small, curved window is crafted from sapphire crystal and sits atop the watch glass, directly above the date aperture at the three o’clock position. Rolex introduced the Cyclops lens in 1953, and it quickly became an iconic feature of the brand. The ingenious design acts as a magnifying glass, enlarging the date display by 2.5 times. This ensures the date is perfectly legible at a glance, regardless of the lighting conditions. The Cyclops lens is not only a functional addition but also an essential aesthetic element that makes the Datejust instantly recognizable as a Rolex classic. This specific 1978 reference 6827 naturally features this unmistakable detail, which completes the watch’s functionality and visual appeal. With the Datejust, Rolex created a timeless classic that immediately became a symbol of prestige and technical excellence, a status that the model, such as this stunning 6827, maintains to this day.

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!
