Rolex Datejust 6828 Description
Reference 6828 is a rare, factory gem-set model from the 31mm ‘Mid-Size’ Datejust 68xx series, produced during the 1970s and early 1980s. Its technical specification denotes a 31mm case constructed from 18k yellow gold, distinguished by the 28 suffix which specifies a factory-set brilliant-cut diamond bezel. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2035, one of the first in its size category to feature a quickset date complication. The 31mm Oyster case is fitted with an acrylic crystal. The significance of the Ref. 6828 lies in its status as a top-tier luxury model in a non-standard size for its era, making it a rare and opulent precursor to the more common five-digit gem-set models.
