The most versatile model out of the Rolex collection, the present Datejust is a luxurious example with a full 18k yellow gold case and bracelet. One more thing making this watch standout is its Lapis Lazuli hardstone dial, usually appearing on Day-Date models but used far less for the Datejust, increasing the rarity of the watch.
