Today's offering showcases this superior original example of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date model encased in stainless steel. Essentially a Datejust with a slightly smaller diameter (34mm instead of the Datejust's 36mm) it features clean lines and a sharp look and embodies Rolex's timeless class.

It is fully Rolex down to the original hands. It has its original very classic silver dial with baton markers and hands, which is untouched and mint.

On the wrist the case presents as very close to mint with very nice full fat lugs. The only visible wear on the wrist are the remnants of two pin prick marks on the bezel, which could be polished out if desired.

Its automatic Rolex movement has just received a light servicing from our Master Watchmaker and is running very true (a $345 value). We have timed the watch in five chronometer positions, and it continues to keep extremely accurate time. All the waterproofing gaskets have just replaced with new genuine Rolex seals.

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 attesting to its performance.

Note: A published example of this model can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 2, pp. 392-393.
