The Rolex Datejust is one of the most significant models in the history of watchmaking. 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.

This five digit reference example benefits from the addition of a quickset date feature and the "fluted bezel" in 18k white gold pairs nicely with the jubilee bracelet. In terms of condition, it is one of the most striking examples we've come across for its extremely sharp and well preserved case and bracelet. The watch appears completely unpolished and to top it off boasts a gorgeous and mint silver dial that has taken on a light and warm tropical patina. The dial plays with various light environments and is just a joy to have on wrist.
