Founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex became known for a concentration on quality movements, a relentless quest for chronometric precision and the first waterproof and dustproof watch, named the “Oyster”. Rolex watches were present during a number of historical events, including Mercedes Gleitze’s ten-hour swim across the English channel and Sir Edmund Hillary’s summit of Mount Everest.
The watch features a striking champagne dial, with hour markers made from 18 carat gold to prevent tarnishing. The Rolex Datejust is not just a passing trend in horology, but a true style. This model has transcended time thanks to its aesthetics and functions.The watch is placed on a two-toned Jubilee bracelet. The cyclops on the crystal, invented by Rolex in 1953 magnifies the date for easy reading.
The bracelet is a comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet and was designed for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945. The new model, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41 comes in a variety of options, allowing the wearer to customize materials, the bezel and bracelet. Influenced by the pioneering Date just, the date on this model is displayed in a window at 3 o’clock and changes instantaneously at midnight. The watch is powered by the 3235 movement, a new generation movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It is certified as a Swiss chronometer by COSC. Rolex invented and patented the world’s first self-winding mechanism in 1931 that remains at the heart of every modern replica automatic watch today. Discover more about Rolex here.
