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 sports a stunning white dial, which greatly compliments the white gold fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Although less known than other configurations, it is just as stunning and easily wearable. The mesmerizing glossy white dial gives a lot of freshness to this timepiece, making it a lively and dynamic timepiece. The tritium of the hands and hour markers sport a charming light 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, 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. The green caseback sticker is still well visible.
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 or papers. We provide a Veritas travelling pouch.
The movement is the original caliber 3135, which runs well.
