A two-tone Datejust with a white dial set with Roman numerals, a fluted gold bezel and the Jubilee bracelet.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and later settled in Geneva, and its Oyster case, patented in 1926, set the pattern for the modern waterproof wristwatch. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first self-winding wristwatch to show the date in a window on the dial.
The white dial carries gold Roman numerals and a date window at three o'clock under a cyclops lens, and the bezel is fluted in 18K yellow gold. The bracelet is the five-link Jubilee in steel and gold.
The case is 36 mm (1.42 in) across, excluding the crown, and 44 mm (1.73 in) from lug to lug. The guarantee card is dated 29 March 2018, and the watch has been refinished by a partner workshop.
