The Rolex Datejust is a popular and classic watch that was introduced in 1945 to celebrate Rolex's 40th anniversary. It was the first wristwatch to have a date display on the dial. The Datejust was designed to be a versatile watch suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Its sleek and elegant design has made it a popular choice for watch enthusiasts and collectors around the world. Over the years, the Datejust has undergone numerous design changes, including changes to the case size, dial colors, and materials used. In the 1950s, Rolex introduced the Cyclops lens, a magnifying lens over the date display, which has become an iconic feature of the Datejust.
The watch we have here is the Datejust 41 Stainless Steel Blue Dial ref 126334-0001, an elegant and classic choice for any watch enthusiast. The case measures at 41mm, which is a larger version of the classic Datejust, however, is still an extremely sought-after watch that fits any wrist. The case is complemented by a white gold fluted bezel which continues to add to the already elegance and grandeur of the watch. Powered by Rolex's in-house calibre 3235, the watch is capable of up to 100m of water resistance whilst offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The Datejust is an extremely versatile watch that can not only be worn on formal occasions, but it can suit everyday activities whilst still enduring the wear and tears of everyday life. Today, the Datejust remains one of the most popular and recognizable watches in the world and is a testament to Rolex's ability to craft a timepiece that has a long and healthy legacy, appreciated and loved by all.
