Rolex 6075 Datejust 36 SS / 18K YG Ivory Dial Circa. 1982

This Rolex 6075 Datejust, produced circa 1950, exemplifies early Rolex innovation with its distinctive tonneau or “bubble‑back” Oyster case and automatic winding caliber A296. Crafted in stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, the watch features a rare ivory dial with roulette date display, capturing the transitional era when Rolex began imprinting “Datejust” on the dial. The 36 mm case, including the domed acrylic crystal, measures approximately 13 mm thick, giving it a substantial yet elegant presence. Powered by the automatic caliber A296, this model offers chronometer‑grade precision and a sweeping central seconds hand. As one of the earliest Datejust references, the 6075 holds significant collector appeal for its historical placement between the original Datejust and subsequent Oyster Perpetual Date lines. Its two‑tone construction and early cyclops‑style date magnification underscore Rolex’s pioneering approach to functionality and design. The combination of movement quality, rarity of dial configuration, and early Datejust branding make this piece a compelling acquisition for seasoned collectors seeking a foundational Rolex model. Excellent condition with European Watch Company leather pouch.
