Description

The Salmon dial      -      Sometimes all we need is a Datejust and we mean that. The Datejust, not long ago, had been such a underrated model and only in the past 24months or so, collectors have been looking more into this. As none of the references from the 70s on is really rare its more the dial which has our attention. This super nice 16234 Datejust is fitted with a very vibrant Salmon dial with applied Roman numerals. This watch looks so good. Very elegant on one hand, a daily beater on the other hand. You can never go wrong with a Datejust.

THE FIRST DATEJUST 1945

The year 1945 saw the birth of the Datejust, the first self‑winding wrist chronometer to indicate the date in a window on the dial. A watch of great distinction, the Datejust was equipped with a Jubilee bracelet created specially for it and a fluted bezel, making it immediately recognisable as a Rolex. It is the pillar of the Oyster collection. Initially for men, it became available in various models for women in the course of the following decade.
