Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust holds a storied place in horology as the first self-winding chronometer to feature a date window. This 1984 example, reference 68274, carries that heritage in a 31mm round stainless steel case fitted with a screw-down crown and a fixed bezel. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits above the dial, and a Cyclops lens magnifies the date display for easy reading.
The silver dial is appointed with index hour markers and silver-toned hands, presenting a clean and legible face suited to a wide range of occasions. The automatic movement drives date, hour, minute, and second functions, housed within the Oyster case construction that Rolex designed for lasting resilience.
Completing the package is a stainless steel bracelet secured by a fold clasp, giving the watch a cohesive, finished look on the wrist. This Datejust 68274 comes with its original box; please note that original papers are not included.
