Introduction
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 brands' sports watches. Featuring a stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and caseback, the Datejust packs an impressive punch. 100m of water resistance alongside its consistently capable movements and construction have enabled it to become one of the best-equipped watches for daily wear and tear. Available in several different dial options, 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. The majority of Datejusts' were produced in stainless steel and two-tone, with fewer quantities made in 18k solid gold.

THE DIAL

THE CONSTRUCTION
Sporting the most exuberant construction a Ladies Datejust can muster, this ref. 6913 features Rolex's President bracelet alongside a diamond-set bezel to ensure that it is a true statement of luxury and achievement - especially when combined with its salmon Stella diamond-set dial.

Condition
The watch is in overall excellent condition. The yellow gold case has some light surface scratches and marks, as expected of a watch of this vintage. There is a small ding visible on the lower right side of the crown-side case. The hallmarks are all well-defined, as is the engraving on the case back. The diamond-set bezel is in excellent condition. The pink lacquered dial is in excellent condition, with some marking around the edge between 11 and 3. The hands are clean. The yellow gold bracelet has light play between the links. The bracelet currently fits a 6 3/4" wrist and has 34 links, 4 of which are removable.
Our Perspective
Featuring a plethora of diamonds, a salmon stella dial and a luxurious 18kt yellow gold construction with a Presidential bracelet to top it off, this example showcases Rolex's unyielding pursuit of craftmanship and luxury.
