Why it holds value
The Datejust is the template every dress-sport watch borrows from, and its wide range of dials makes it the most personal Rolex to buy. It is more attainable than the sports models, but clean full sets and rarer dial colors still command premiums.
- 36mm steel case with a white-gold fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet.
- Many dial options, from clean sunburst to diamond and palm motifs.
- Dial color and configuration drive much of the price difference.
FAQ
Is the Datejust a good first luxury watch?
