Dynamic Instruments

This Rolex Datejust was made in the 1950s. It's simple, it's solid, and it's in yellow gold. It's pretty much everything you'd want in a vintage Rolex.

The compact, taut design seems to emphasize just how robust this watch is. Many modern watch models have a somewhat sluggish appearance. With such a bold look, and the fact that it's a Rolex, this watch will likely be welcomed by many.

The decorative details now only found on vintage Rolex watches—the intricately fluted bezel, Alpha hands, wedge-shaped indexes, and red-printed calendar—are somewhat contrasting with the large, easy-to-operate crown and finely engraved indices, but this is what makes it so Rolex. Whether paired with a dinner suit, an open-collar shirt, or simply dressed, this Oyster Perpetual will look natural on your wrist. While it is a precise timekeeping instrument, it also possesses a heartfelt charm. Its natural all-round capabilities are the reason this watchmaking house is known the world over.

With a design that continues to be loved by many people and a vintage-like sense of balance, this is a great choice for those who want to experience the charm of a yellow gold case for the first time.
