The original everyday Rolex
Introduced in 1945 as the first self-winding chronometer with a date, the Datejust defined the modern dress-sport watch. The fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet are signatures.
Why it’s the value pick
At roughly $8,000–$9,000+ retail and far more available than the sport models, the Datejust 41 is the easiest grail Rolex to actually buy near list price.
