A two-tone Datejust with a champagne dial, a fluted gold bezel and a Jubilee bracelet of steel and gold links.
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 Rolex to show the date in a window on the dial.
The champagne dial carries baton hour markers, the Rolex crown, and a date window at three o'clock, set beneath a fluted gold bezel. The five-piece Jubilee bracelet alternates steel and gold links, the crown is gold, and the case back is plain steel.
The case is 35 mm (1.38 in) across, excluding the crown, and the bracelet is 1.5 cm (0.59 in) wide, fitting a wrist up to 19 cm (7.5 in). A green Rolex box, outer case, wallet and booklet are shown with it.
