First introduced in 1945, it was the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date on the dial. The Datejust quickly became a symbol of prestige and luxury, and has been worn by some of the world's most influential figures, including US President Eisenhower and Martin Luther King Jr. Over the years, Rolex has continued to refine the design of the Datejust, adding new features and innovations while staying true to its classic look and feel. Today, the Datejust remains one of the most popular and recognizable watches in the world, a testament to its timeless design and enduring appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis particular 804X serial example, circa 1984 falls in the 5 digit reference era which benefits from the addition of a quickset date function. It features an 18k yellow gold case and houses a rare matte blue dial, making it a special find. Perhaps most notable is the incredible condition this piece has remained in. The case\/bezel appears completely unpolished with sharp edges and deep, crisp hallmarks. There is no distracting wear to note of. The dial also retains all of its tritium plots which remain full, warmly patina'd, matching the hands. For anyone looking for a special precious metal Day-Date or Datejust, this one hits all the right notes a collector could hope for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649296724244,"sku":null,"price":16600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-datejust-16018-matte-blue-dial-unpolished-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1781318670","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-datejust-16018-w-matte-blue-dial-unpolished","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
