Iconic since 1945 - Datejusts have been very soft on the market for a very long time but with an increased demand for a while now, interesting dial versions are not that easy to hunt anymore, they disappear shortly after they come up. One dial we have always liked is the Vignette dial.The transition from the midnight blue in the center to the black on the edge is mesmerizing and the aesthetics are enhanced with the diamond indexes. This very example is in stainless steel with a white gold bezel and dates back to 1991. It is preserved in excellent overall condition and always a stunner on the wrist. We would say, one of the most exciting Datejust configurations out there.

Brief History
Rolex Datejust
Released in 1945 to celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust was the first automatic chronometer wristwatch to indicate the date through a window on the dial. The Datejust is characterized by its date window under the ‘cyclops’ window. Iconic vintage Datejusts were made in 36mm case diameter, with a range of steel and precious metal versions.
