The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 6627 is a distinguished yet understated classic, with an 18k gold case that exudes sophistication without shouting for attention. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this piece offers a glimpse into Rolex's golden era, when they perfected the art of blending rugged durability with elegant design.
The 31mm mid-size 18k gold case wears bigger than its size and offers an understated feel on the wrist. Its fluted bezel adds an added element of sophistication to an already timeless design.
The champagne dial, now beautifully patinated by time, is adorned with applied gold indices that catch the light at every angle. Paired with the elegant dauphine hands, the watch radiates a subtle vintage warmth. The date window at 3 o'clock features Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, adding a practical touch to its luxurious demeanor, amplifying the legibility of the date—a hallmark of the Rolex brand.
Inside beats the reliable and precise Rolex Caliber 1130, a robust automatic movement that powers this 6627 with the level of accuracy Rolex is renowned for.
This example also benefits from the original Bureaux Suisses, De contrôle officiel de la marche des chronomètres paperwork. This official Swiss chronometer certification is a highly coveted document, rarely seen these days, making this a true collector's find.
Finally the watch also benefits from its inner and outer box and warranty (see condition report).
For anyone seeking a vintage Rolex that combines the allure of 1960s style with the prestige of solid 18k gold, the Oyster Perpetual Date 6627 is a compelling choice.
