about the watch
In the rich and long history of Rolex, not many model lines can pride themselves in being as significant as the Datejust. Born in 1945, the Datejust has seen many variations of cases, bracelets, and dials combinations.
This specific piece, the blue dial, white gold fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, probably remains one of the most sought-after and versatile timepieces of all time. The mesmerizing glossy blue dial varies from ocean blue to a poping royal blue depending on the light, giving it a lively and dynamic appearance on the wrist. The tritium of the hands and indexes sport a charming beige patina, adding some vintage feel to the watch. These beautiful features are visible through the resistant sapphire glass.
On top of that, the overall condition of the watch is great, with still a lot of material on the case and sharp angles. And if that amazing condition was not enough, the watch comes with its original set, even displaying the "16234" and blue sticker on the box, making this timepiece the perfect one-watch collection and a must-have for anyone looking to wear a timeless Rolex.
The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. Certainly the watch has been refreshed, but no heavy polishing was made.
The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too. The bracelet is the original one, reference 62510H. It has no stretch.
The watch is sold with its original box, papers and a plethora of accessories. It even has the “16234” and “blue sticker” on the box. This goes to show how well the watch was taken care of by its previous owner.
The movement is the original caliber 3135, which runs well. The watch is still waterproof, although we highly recommend not to go jet-skiing with it...
