About this Rolex Datejust

The Rolex Datejust

Start with the 36mm and most buyers stop there. It's the iconic unisex benchmark, with 26mm and 31mm below for smaller wrists and 41mm above for a sportier feel. From Oystersteel to solid gold, every tier carries a meaningful step. Current 126xxx pieces move with good liquidity; vintage refs reward originality. Box and papers matter for value. The full arc runs $3,539 to $32,200. Read the full Datejust buying guide ›

About Rolex

Demand has outrun supply on these for years, and that's the whole story for a buyer. Wilsdorf founded Rolex in 1905, and the Geneva house earned its standing on waterproofing, automatics, and date displays. Precision and durability made the name; the market made it an asset class. Steel sports references sell over retail every day, so dealer-direct pricing and a wire payment keep your fair trade-level number where it belongs. Browse all Rolex ›
