Description
Rolex Datejust 31mm ref. 68273
We are proud to offer this beautiful Rolex Datejust 31mm ref. 68273 from 1986, a distinctive vintage Rolex that combines classic two-tone elegance with a highly individual champagne dial featuring visible patina and traces of historical moisture exposure.
This particular example is offered as a full set, including its original Rolex box and papers. The watch is in excellent overall condition and has recently undergone a complete in-house service. The movement has been thoroughly inspected, serviced, and tested, and the watch is running properly.
The defining feature of this watch is its original champagne dial. Over the years, the dial has developed substantial patina as a result of previous moisture exposure. This has created a unique and unmistakably vintage appearance, giving the watch a great deal of character and vintage allure. The marks and discoloration on the dial are clearly visible and form part of the watch’s history and individual identity.
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and recognizable watch collections ever created. Introduced in 1945, it was the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window on the dial and has remained a cornerstone of the Rolex collection ever since.
The 31mm Oyster case is crafted from stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, offering elegant proportions that sit beautifully on the wrist. The classic fluted bezel in 18k yellow gold gives the watch its unmistakable Rolex appearance, while the two-tone construction provides the perfect balance between refinement and everyday wearability.
The champagne dial features classic applied hour markers and gold-tone hands. Its naturally developed patina and visible traces of historical moisture exposure make this example completely unique. Rather than appearing like a modern or restored dial, it presents the authentic character expected from a vintage watch that has lived a genuine life.
The watch is fitted with its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. Known for its comfort, flexibility, and timeless design, the Jubilee bracelet perfectly complements the elegant character of the Datejust.
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 2135, an automatic movement known for its reliability, compact construction, and durability. The movement has recently been fully serviced in-house and carefully checked for functionality, accuracy, and overall mechanical condition. The watch is currently running properly and is supplied with a 12-month warranty on the movement.
