Rolex Datejust 41 Two-Tone Diamond Dial

Why We Love it

The Rolex Datejust is a watch that needs no introduction...

However, the Datejust 41 is worth shedding some light on...

Introduced in 2009 as the "Datejust II" prior to being renamed the "Datejust 41" in 2016 - this line of watches in the Rolex catalog aims to fill the void that the smaller, more traditionally sized 36mm Datejust cannot. With its increased case diameter (5mm), the Datejust 41 suits those wholong for the classic, timeless styling, and versatality of the Datejust, but prefer a larger size. Simple. 

This particular example, a Reference 126331, features a two-tone Everrose and stainless steel Oyster case with matching solid link Jubilee bracelet and is in superb condition throughout. It comes fitted with a stunning and flawless brown sunburst dial with diamond-set indices, a matching gold handset, and a fluted gold bezel. 

These timepieces are incredibly versatile for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion. This is a great example of a 41mm Datejust, albeit a bold one!

The Datejust Story

We've said it over and over again - the Datejust may just be the perfect watch.

Coupling perfect proportions, simple dial layouts, and robust movements, Rolex's most prolific model is an icon of timekeeping that has been in continuous production for decades. Moreover, the Datejust is all the watch that just about any of us really need. 

The beauty of the Datejust is that it is the ultimate do-anything, go-anywhere watch. Equal parts sporty and dressy, the Datejust wears just as well with jeans as it does with a suit, and thanks to the signature Oyster case and tough-as-nails movement, it’s ready for anything that you can throw at it.

In production continuously since 1945, the original Datejust was the world's first wristwatch to incorporate a date disc and aperture at the 3:00 position. Since then, date windows at 3:00 have become commonplace, and the Rolex cyclops magnifier bubble has become a hallmark of the brand. Datejusts have proudly been worn by presidents, athletes and movie stars (and probably your grandfather), in a testament to how timeless and versatile the watch truly is.

While recent horological trends have favored larger sporty wristwatches, the age of the giant watch is drawing to a close, making more reasonably sized watches like the original Datejust, a pleasantly stylish option that fits the bill in every setting.

There's a magic to the Datejust's simple design, a timelessness that proves that true style never dies.
