Rolex Datejust

A steel and gold Rolex Datejust with a champagne dial

Steel, Rolesor or solid gold, 28mm to 41mm: tell us about your Datejust and we’ll email and text you a price.

Launched in 1945 for Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust was the first self-winding chronometer wristwatch to show the date in a window on the dial. The original reference 4467 came in 18 carat yellow gold on the Jubilee bracelet, which was named for the occasion.

The Rolex Datejust

Over the years the date change became instantaneous, the range grew from the original 36mm to sizes from 28mm to 41mm, and the movement moved on to the calibre 3235 with its 70-hour power reserve. Today it comes in steel, two-tone Rolesor and solid gold, on the Jubilee or Oyster bracelet.

What we look at

  • Size

    Lady-Datejust, 31mm, 36mm, Datejust II and Datejust 41 are priced differently. The reference tells us which you have.

  • Bezel and metal

    Smooth or fluted bezel, steel, white Rolesor, yellow or Everose Rolesor, or solid gold.

  • Dial and bracelet

    Dial colour, diamond hour markers and a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet all affect the price.

  • Box, papers and extras

    The warranty card, box, spare links and service papers all add to the price.

    Which Datejust references do you buy?

    All of them, from vintage references such as the 16013 and 16014 to the 16234, 116234 and today’s Datejust 36 and 41 models.

    Do you buy a Datejust without box and papers?

    Yes. Tell us what you have: the box, papers and service history all feed into the price, which is why the form asks about each one.

    Where is the reference number on my Datejust?

    Engraved between the lugs at 12 o’clock (you’ll need the bracelet off to see it), and printed on the warranty card or papers. If you can’t find it, add photos and we’ll work it out.
