The Rolex DateJust (current model)

[Lol-x]

DateJust Reference Numbers:

Date of production:
The Rolex Date Just was introduced in 1945 as model 4467 and was to become the Flagship of the Rolex Line until the Day Date unseated it a decade later. The DateJust is still in production.

It was initially introduced as the DateJust Jubilee, however, the Jubilee title somehow only became associated with the bracelet. Originally offered in a coin edged version, the fluted bezel came along shortly afterward in 1957.

Some milestones for the DJ:
. 1954.... Introduction of the cyclops
. 1956.... First time another braclet besides the Jubilee offered (Oyster, Jubilee, or strap)
. 1957.... Offered in Stainless Steel
. 1962.... Introduction of the Two Tone models

The Two Tone Datejust has remained largely unchanged (aesthetically) for the past ~60 years and is probably the most copied watch ever introduced.
