The Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Rolex. It became the world’s first automatic waterproof wristwatch to feature a date display that changed automatically at midnight — a groundbreaking innovation at the time. As one of the foundational models within the modern Rolex catalogue, the Datejust has remained in continuous production for more than 80 years and continues to define timeless everyday elegance.

Here at Bulang and Sons, we have always had a soft spot for the Rolex Datejust. Effortlessly versatile and endlessly stylish, it is one of those rare watches that feels appropriate in absolutely any setting. Over the years, we have handled countless examples, yet certain configurations continue to stand out — just like this one.

This particular watch is a classic 36 mm Datejust featuring a strong and well-preserved case with nicely proportioned, thick lugs. The white gold fluted bezel remains crisp and well defined, beautifully framing the standout feature of the watch: its attractive “linen” finished dial. The textured surface adds a subtle depth and character, complemented by warm beige -colored lume plots that have aged beautifully over time.

The watch comes fitted on a Jubilee bracelet, reference 62150H, presented in very nice condition and complete with reference 555 end links and a clasp stamped T1. Furthermore, the quick-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

At Bulang and Sons, we always strive to keep a carefully curated selection of interesting Datejust's in stock. If you are searching for the right example, please feel free to get in touch — we would be happy to help you find the perfect one.
