ABOUT THE ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST

Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust is Rolex’s main flagship model wristwatch and is the best selling luxury wristwatch in history.  The Datejust carried a great deal of significance as it was launched by Rolex to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of Wilsdorf & Davis, the original name of the Rolex corporation. 

The Oyster Perpetual Datejust was one of the first Rolex watch models to carry a date display on its dial and it was one of the first to use stored kinetic energy to have its movement accurately change. 

The Datejust has three main features: it displays the date, it comes in stainless steel or two tone (18k gold and stainless steel) and it has either a jubilee or oyster band.

Like other Rolex watches the Datejust features a 31-jewel chronometer movement and synthetic sapphire crystal.  The jeweled movement reduces friction and thus allows the movement to last decades upon decades.
