Dating to 1987, this Rolex Datejust reference 68274 carries a 31mm round stainless steel case fitted with a screw-down crown and a fixed fluted bezel. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits above a salmon dial marked by Roman numerals and luminescent silver-tone hands, delivering a combination of warmth and clear readability across the hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions.
The watch rides on a Jubilee bracelet secured by a fold clasp — a pairing long associated with the Datejust lineage and noted for its comfort across extended wear. Inside, an automatic movement keeps the display running, with the date window serving as the model's defining complication.
This example comes with its original box, though papers are not included. As a Swiss-made piece from the late 1980s, it reflects the considered proportions and craftsmanship that have kept the Datejust relevant across decades of changing tastes.
