Details
The Lapis Datejust - this Datejust is one rare watch. Stone dials in general appear in 5-digit Day Date references, none of them are known to ever have been fitted into 4-digit Day Date references. The only 36mm reference fitted with stone dials is the 1601 and like on the Day Date examples, the stone dials were only fitted in precious metal cases. The watch dates to 1976 and is in incredible condition. The case is strong and well defined showing sharp edges. The full length bracelet is in very good condition and matching to the case, its hard to believe that its 45 years old. The dial on this is insane. The original Lapis dial is in excellent condition, not showing any wear from age. The surface is immaculate and free of any chips, hairlines or cracks. A Lapis Datejust is something else, the lack of the Day window when compared the Day Date makes this simply mesmerizing

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Created to celebrate Rolex's 40th anniversary in 1954, the Rolex Datejust was the first automatic wristwatch to indicate the date on the dial, featuring the iconic window at 3 o'clock magnified by the Cyclops lens for enhanced legibility, and so far remains one of Rolex's best-selling watches.
