18ct Yellow Gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust

A fine vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wristwatch, circa 1953, in 18ct yellow gold, featuring the classic fluted bezel and champagne dial with applied gold baton hour markers and a date aperture at three o’clock, displaying the distinctive red numeral. Powered by an automatic chronometer-rated movement housed within the robust Oyster case, it retains the screw-down crown and case back — hallmarks of Rolex’s waterproof innovation. Measuring 36mm in diameter, this early Datejust exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and understated luxury of 1950s Rolex design. Fitted to a later brown textured leather strap with gold-tone buckle.
