The Rolex Datejust is the modern archetype of the classic watch, thanks to the aesthetics and functions that changes in fashion every day. The Rolex Datejust has spanned through many eras, making it a notable, but traditionally recognized watch design of its kind.
The first Rolex Datejust was first launched in 1945 and was the first wristwatch with an automatic date changing function. This meant that the Rolex Datejust was self-winding, as a result of the wearers’ natural body movement to provide energy for the watch to function properly. The first edition of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust was available in 18k gold and was waterproofed with a beautiful bezel design and bracelet that is signature to the Rolex trademark design.
