The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and enduring models in the brand’s history, celebrated for its versatility, refined proportions and unmistakable design.

The ivory Jubilee dial is a particularly attractive feature of this example, displaying the repeating “ROLEX” monogram pattern across its surface.

The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Rolex’s iconic Cyclops lens positioned over the date window at 3 o’clock.

The Jubilee bracelet remains one of Rolex’s most recognisable designs, delivering exceptional comfort while perfectly complementing the refined two-tone character of the watch.
