Launched in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to show the date in a window, the Datejust is the most recognizable Rolex. The 41 mm 126300 pairs a smooth bezel with the modern 3235 movement. With dials ranging from slate to “wimbledon” green and mint, it’s a watch you can personalize to your taste.
Who it’s for
Buyers marking a milestone, and anyone who wants the classic Rolex look for the office.
Buying tips
- Fluted-bezel (126334, white gold) and two-tone versions cost more than the smooth steel 126300.
- Oyster and Jubilee bracelets both exist. Prices vary by dial and bracelet combination.
- Counterfeit Datejusts are extremely common. Buy only with authentication.
