The Rolex Datejust, introduced in 1945, epitomizes timeless elegance and innovation. Born on the cusp of Rolex's 40th anniversary, it revolutionized watchmaking as the first automatic wristwatch to feature a date function, displayed in a window at 3 o'clock. This iconic model was unveiled to commemorate the brand's enduring quest for precision, wrapped in a robust Oyster case, ensuring water resistance.
