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, but this specific piece, with its silver dial, white gold fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, probably remains one of the most sought-after and versatile timepieces of all time.
This mesmerizing silver dial varies from icy silver to champagne depending on the light, giving it a more lively and dynamic appearance on the wrist. When facing an orange-ish light, the dial shines golden, thanks to its deep dial patina. This charming patina gives a little extra rarity to this all-time classic, demarcating it from the more regular dials. The indexes and hands are tritium, which has gained a beautiful beige patina over time.
On top of that, the overall condition of the watch is great, with still a lot of material on the case and sharp angles.
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 alone, without box and papers. We provide a Veritas travel pouch.
The movement is the original caliber 3135, which runs well. The watch is still waterproof, although we highly recommend not to go swimming with the watch.
