Which model is the quintessential Rolex?
When you think "Rolex" which exact reference pops in your head as the quintessential model?
I don't mean something your necessarily own, but if you had to pick one that sort of represents the entire brand to the public, which would it be? To me, from the time I was a kid right up through today this is the one I always pictured. And the funny thing is I never really wanted to buy this one. Wound up going with the RG TT instead just because I prefer rose gold over yellow. But this to me is always the one that sticks in my head. The two tone yellow gold champagne dial Datejust. Just oozes Rolex DNA!

Submariner (I own) or the datejust. The one you pictured is probably the one I thought of.

One model that represents the brand to the general public … TT datejust.
One model that represents the brand to me … Submariner. |

Totally agree with TT DJ, but in 36, not 41

There are three (all five-digit versions, since that's what I grew up noticing):
Stainless Sub date, black/black TT DJ, Jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, champagne dial, stick markers YG DD, President bracelet, fluted bezel, white dial, romans |

My first thought was Sub, but it could also be TT datejust.

Sub or TT Datejust (yellow gold Champaign dial). This is a very close call.

10 years ago the TT DJ, now it is probably the Sub that is the most recognized and desired symbol of Rolex.

Depends on the generation you ask. Older will say datejust, newer might say submariner.

Submariner, nothing else even comes close. I would even argue the Submariner is the most iconic watch ever made in general.

So many great pieces, but the TT DJ champagne/stick Jubilee is the iconic Rolex.
