Today's offering showcases this elegant Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust with quick-setting date encased in stainless steel and 18K gold.

Featuring clean lines and a sharp look, this watch embodies Rolex's timeless class. As precise as it is classic, the watch is powered by the same automatic Rolex cal. 3035 mechanism that powered several of the desirable transitional sports models, like the Submariner and triple six Sea-Dweller models.

A superior mechanism, it offers a level of engineering and craftsmanship that is exceptional.

Our Rolex has all of its original parts and presents in excellent condition. Its case has slight remnants of wear on the underside - on the wrist it presents as just short of mint. Please inquire if you would like the underside freshly polished. Its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet has moderate stretch - its finish presents as mint.

And its beautiful original champagne linen dial is mint with beautifully toned original luminous that matches the dial color.

One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex replacements, installing a new mainspring. reassembling and lubricating the movement, replacing all of the waterproofing seals, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value).

It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing recording position.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
