The details

Everything worth knowing.

Verified catalogue information, practical sizing guidance and the details that help you decide.

Having a date indicator on a watch is taken for granted these days, but before 1945, the concept didn't exist at all—that is until Rolex added a simple, yet game-changing element to its famous Oyster watch: the date window. This small aperture changed the role of wristwatches from then on, from mere timekeeping devices to calendars as well. The Datejust was (and is) also known for its classic elegance—the watch is striking in its magnificent, minimalist beauty. Many of these timepieces feature dials or cases made with rare and exquisite materials, which only adds to their graceful and luxurious reputation. In 2009 the look was slightly adjusted and modernised with the Datejust II—the main difference being the change in size from 36 to 41mm. This Rolex Datejust II 116333 has a Silver Baton dial and a Bracelet strap. This Rolex has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. All our watches have a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind. One of our skilled polishing technicians has removed marks on the case and bracelet of this watch, brought about by daily wear and tear, which is why this watch does not come with the remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
