Details
Description
As a release in 1945 to commemorate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust surpassed its predecessors by being the first automatic wristwatch with an automatically changing date window at midnight. The Oyster case introduced in 1926 offered a resolution to an unaddressed need: resistance to water. With such groundbreaking features, the Datejust quickly became one of the world’s most popular luxury timepieces.
This Datejust reference 69138 is a yellow gold wristwatch powered by cal. 2135 automatic movement with 29 jewels. This model stands out with a gilt Jubilee dial, a specialized feature displaying a monogrammed “ROLEX” pattern across the dial surface.
