This oyster perpetual datejust 41 in oystersteel and yellow gold features a golden, fluted-motif dial and an oyster bracelet.


The light reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the elegant profile of the 41 mm Oyster case, which is fitted with a fluted bezel.


Aesthetically, the Datejust has spanned eras, while retaining the enduring codes that make it, notably in its traditional versions, one of the most recognized and recognizable of watches.


GOLDEN DIAL

A DISTINCTIVE FACE


The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability.


Characterised by hour markers fashioned from gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.


THE FLUTED BEZEL

A ROLEX SIGNATURE


The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Datejust 41.


YELLOW ROLESOR

A MEETING OF TWO METALS


Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties. A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.


THE OYSTER BRACELET

ALCHEMY OF FORM AND FUNCTION


The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex. This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
