You can never go wrong with a Datejust. The most iconic Dress watch of all times, unbeaten since 1945 when it was firstly launched still follows the same design until today. There are numerous references and variations but the DNA is noticable on the first look. This great example is from the late 1980s and has a white dial with applied roman numerals. Though its an updated version with Sapphire crystal it still bears tritium luminous, I would say the best of both worlds.

Brief History
Rolex Datejust
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.
