The pre-owned Rolex Datejust is the ideal gateway into the world of the crown. Launched in 1945 for the brand's centenary, it was the first waterproof wristwatch to display the date in a window, magnified by the Cyclops lens. Nearly eighty years on, it remains the most versatile Rolex: from suit to swimsuit, it never goes out of style.
| Choice | Options | Our advice |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 31 mm, 36 mm or 41 mm | 36 mm is the historic unisex format; 41 mm for stronger wrists, 31 mm for slimmer ones |
| Bezel | Smooth, fluted white gold, gem-set | The fluted bezel is the Datejust signature par excellence |
| Bracelet | Five-link Jubilee or three-link Oyster | Jubilee for the original spirit, Oyster for sporty sobriety |
| Dial | Silver, black, blue, champagne, mother-of-pearl, with or without diamonds | Classic dials age best |
Absolutely: it is the unisex model par excellence. 31 mm and 36 mm dominate women's wrists, 36 mm and 41 mm men's. See also our pre-owned ladies' watches.
