The Rolex Datejust embodies everything a Rolex should be; elegant, reliable and robust. Originally launched in 1945 to mark the 40th anniversary of Wilsdorf & Davis (the company that would go onto become Rolex), the Datejust features a 36mm , waterproof to 100m and powered by a certified chronometer movement.
The first Datejust was produced in yellow gold (as well as a small number in pink gold) followed by a steel and gold version and finally just steel. However, it wasnt until the early 1950s that the name Datejust started appearing on the dial. Early examples also didnt feature the infamous Cyclops lens that didnt make an appearance on the Datejust until 1955.
This particular watch a reference 1600 is among the most refined Oysters ever produced by Rolex. The smooth bezel and clean dial make for an elegant, paired back design.
Produced in countless variations whichever Datejust you settle on youll be getting a watch with history, timeless style and robust enough to serve you for years to come.
