The Rolex Datejust has remained an enduring icon in the Crown's lineup of timepieces. Of the references in the collection, the reference 68279 stands out for its unisex 31 mm size, and its luxurious solid white gold Oyster case and President bracelet. Its self winding caliber 2135 boasts boasts a frequency of 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 48 hours.
The present 68279 stands out for its exceptional condition and attractive dial. Consigned directly from the original owner, the present watch has sat in a drawer since it was first received as a gift many decades ago. The case back factory sticker is wholly intact, the fluted bezel and the lugs retain sharp proportions, and the original dial is untouched with intact and full luminous plots.
We are pleased to offer this beautiful example of a timeless Rolex creation.
