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 black 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 black dial varies from a deep black to a dark anthracite or even brownish colour depending on the light, giving it a lively and dynamic appearance on the wrist. The indexes and hands are filled wih tritium, which turned to a beautiful beige patina. 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. Cherry on the cake, the watch is delivered with its original box and papers.
The case has kept sharp edges and the white gold bezel is unpolished. It has been very well preserved.
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 and papers as well as two original booklets.
The movement is the original caliber 3135 and has been serviced by our watchmakers.
