The Datejust is one of the best known pieces in Rolex's repertoire. Introduced in the 1940s, it was first exclusively produced in yellow gold but given its success Rolex soon started experimenting with different material variations. Featuring an enigmatic grey dial, the present 15220 is cased in very versatile stainless steel.
