Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 40921415/AS05941

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

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

The so-called “six-digit” Datejusts (reference variants with six digits) evolved from the original Oyster Perpetual Datejust line, and now exist as the contemporary standard for the line.

These models showed up in the early 2000s and offer updated cases and bracelets, while still retaining the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have seemingly innumerable variations for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations.

This particular example, a Reference 116238, dates to circa 2007-2008 and features a solid (and we mean solid) 18k yellow gold Oyster case with a matching yellow gold Jubilee bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp, a flawless sunburst champagne dial with applied luminous 'baton' indices, a matching yellow gold handset, and an 18k fluted bezel.

Solid-gold Datejusts are only built in very small numbers to avoid competing with their Day-Date siblings, making finds like this somewhat rare.

We don't want to call it a 'sleeper'.... but.... it kind of is!
