Description

The Datejust amazed collectors in the 1940's as the first watch with a date window that changed automatically. To date, the Rolex Datejust is one of the most recognizable luxury dress watches ever to be created, very few timepieces come close to the legendary status of the Rolex Datejust. Due to the watches very long production run, it was bound to have multiple variations. The present watch offered here today boasts a steel and gold Oyster case with a waterproof screw-down crown and fluted bezel and associated genuine leather strap and buckle.
