The Rolex Reference 6627 is a highly sought-after watch among collectors and enthusiasts, known for its classic and enduring design that has remained popular for many decades. Produced between the 1960s and 1980s, the Reference 6627 is a refined dress watch with a clean and elegant aesthetic that has stood the test of time. A distinguishing characteristic of the Reference 6627 is its compact size, at 31 mm in diameter, it is smaller than modern standards but ideal for those who appreciate a more subtle and traditional appearance. While the majority of Reference 6627 watches were crafted in yellow gold, a select few were made in white gold, making examples like the one featured here exceptionally rare. This specific 6627, with its white-gold case, is one of the very few to surface on the market, and its rarity is further highlighted by the accompanying white-gold brick link bracelet. Additionally, this timepiece is in outstanding condition, with the caseback screwing down perfectly and the self-winding caliber 1130 operating smoothly. The dial is remarkably well-preserved with minimal signs of aging, which is impressive given the watch’s age of over 60 years. All dial markings are intact, and it features a rare luminous dial with dart indices and arrow hands, making it a true collector’s piece.
