Rolex Datejust 36 1945–present
Rolex, 1945–present
Why It Matters
The archetypal Rolex: a 36mm date watch that has defined the everyday luxury wristwatch since 1945. The Datejust 36 is a continuous model across dozens of references rather than one part number; the fluted-bezel ref. 1601 (c. 1959-1977) is its classic vintage representative.
