The classic
Datejust
The Rolex Datejust was the world's first automatic wristwatch with a date window. Its timeless design makes it to one of the all time classics of the Rolex model range. Whether playing golf, having dinner or at the negotiating table, the Datejust is always the perfect companion.

A Rolex signature feature
The fluted bacel
Originally, the fluting of the oyster bezel had a practical purpose and served like the fluting of the caseback to screw with the middle part of the housing, to ensure the watertightness of the watch. Meanwhile, the fluted bazel has a purely aesthetical function and is made exclusively in gold.
