Rolex Datejust
The Rolex Datejust is the modern archetype of the classic 1945 Oyster Perpetual Datejust, the first self-winding wrist chronometer to indicate the date in a window on the dial. The Rolex Datejust was equipped with a five-link Jubilee bracelet created specially for it, and a fluted bezel, making it immediately recognizable as a Rolex. Initially for men, it also became available in various models for women in the 1950s.
