First introduced in 1945 to commemorate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust is one of the brand’s oldest collections still in production today. The original Datejust featured a 36mm case and was the world’s first self-winding wristwatch with a date display that automatically changed at midnight. While this functionality may seem commonplace today, it was the Datejust that established the standard for how a date complication should function on a wristwatch.
At hand is a 2001 specimen featuring a lovely no-lug-holes case and a beautifully finished steel engine-turned bezel.
The dial is a beautiful silver soleil-finished version, with no lume, applied Roman numerals and a fine railroad-track minute scale, complemented by matching non-luminous hands. The Oyster bracelet, ref. 78360, is in excellent condition, with 558B end links and a clasp stamped DT8.
The watch comes complete with its four Rolex booklets, a red hang tag and its punched Chronometer paper, documenting a sale in Singapore in 2005.
One of those Datejusts that simply gets everything right. If this one speaks to you, you know what to do!
