History

This is a Rolex Datejust, one of the most iconic models in watchmaking history. Introduced in 1945 to celebrate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust was the first automatic wristwatch to feature a date window that changed instantaneously at midnight. The two-tone design seen here, combining stainless steel and yellow gold, became a hallmark of timeless elegance. This particular example is especially rare, featuring a Tiffany & Co. co-signed dial — a testament to a historic collaboration between two luxury giants. Offered exclusively through Tiffany boutiques, these double-signed dials add immense collectability and prestige to an already legendary Rolex classic.
