The Rolex reference 6075 was introduced to the world in the early 1950s, and had a short run of just a few years before the now synonymous "Datejust" would begin to adorn the dial - here is a genuinely rare watch, in even more uncommonly well preserved conditions

As the Rolex connoisseur and revered collector Edmond Saran deftly puts it, "the ref. 6075 is the last ‘old school’ Datejust or Ovettone, and one of the most beautiful early Rolex date-justs" - he also points us to the fact that "it is the last Rolex not to carry the name Datejust on the dial! Everything after this reference would appear more modern and the dial configuration completely different in many ways."

Mr Saran is quite right, this is a watch from another era altogether, one that has neither been replicated nor emulated since - consider early era Rolex Magic in A Bottle - I know I do

The example here is in fantastically well preserved and original condition, with extremely uncommon handset featuring distinctive cut-off-dauphine style hour hand

The radium hands and dial match in their tone, and react under the geiger counter confirming untouched lume

Correct "Swiss Made" dial, with radically cool typography on the numerals

The original bracelet whilst slightly stretched, remains long and the clasp shuts firmly

I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!

I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.

Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.

Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
