Released to celebrate Rolex's 40th anniversary in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has become one of the Genevan Giant's most iconic watches. The world's first wristwatch to display the date via an aperture on the dial, the Datejust revolutionized wristwatch design for decades to follow. With its emblematic Cyclops lens, jubilee bracelet (designed specifically for the model in 1945), and classy fluted precious metal bezel, the Datejust's aesthetic has always been that of pure elegance and class. Perhaps one of Rolex's most recognizable designs, the Datejust has evolved from its dressier roots into a perfectly capable timepiece rivaling the robustness of most brand's sports watches. Featuring a stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and caseback, the Datejust packs an impressive 100m of water resistance alongside its consistently capable movements and construction that have enabled it to become one of the best-equipped watches for daily wear and tear. Available with several different dial options, in a multitude of materials, and across many styles, the Datejust is an inescapable reflection of its owner, with a model out there to suit pretty much everybody's tastes and preferences.

Watch is in very good overall condition. Case shows moderate wear, with fine scratches and some small marks visible along the edges. The gold fluted bezel is lightly worn and some scratches are visible along the teeth. Original champagne dial with diamond indexes in near-mint condition coming with matching non-luminous hands. Bracelet has 19 links total, 2 of which are removable. it fits an approx 7" wrist with its largest clasp setting. There is light stretch.

While they might be famed for their rugged toolwatches, this diamond-set Datejust shows just how well Rolex can execute on luxurious designs.
