About The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust

Spanning time and enduring only minor changes, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust is a classic and enduring design, one of the most easily recognized Rolex watches today. Its rich history, notable movement evolution, and sweeping range of configurations help explain why the Datejust remains a favorite among collectors of used Rolex Datejust watches and certified pre-owned Rolex timepieces.

The Datejust model's aesthetic has remained consistent over the decades, featuring a self-winding waterproof chronometer and date display at 3 o'clock that advances automatically. Made for practical, everyday wear, the Rolex Datejust is both highly accurate and remarkably versatile, ideal for casual or formal occasions alike.

Datejust Characteristics

Rolex has introduced rose gold, steel, and two-tone references, known as Rolesor. Though most recognizable with its fluted bezel, the Datejust has also been produced with domed, smooth, and engine-turned bezels. The Datejust collection offers a variety of case sizes for both men and women, including 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 41mm. Designed in a wide range of metals, dials, textures, bracelets, and marker styles, the Rolex Datejust offers nearly endless configurations, many of which are available on the pre-owned market.

Datejust II

The Rolex Datejust II is a larger 41mm iteration with a bold profile and updated case proportions. Many examples include standout dials such as mother-of-pearl or diamond-set hour markers. The Datejust II has become increasingly popular among those shopping for pre-owned Rolex Datejust 41mm watches.
