The Watch
Here we have a 2019 Rolex Datejust 41mm Blue Dial Jubilee 126334 with a contemporary sized 41mm Oyster 904L stainless steel (Oystersteel) case, gently sloping lugs elegantly taper with a lug-to-lug of 47mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence, polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp edges. On the right side, is a signed Twinlock screw-down crown, and the White Gold Fluted bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a blue sunburst dial, around the outer flange, we have the engraved repeating Rolex rehaut. An outer minute track is precisely printed with Arabic numerals, applied baton indexes are filled with Chromalight which is a Rolex proprietary luminance marking the hours, and at 3 o’clock a framed date window with Cyclops 2.5 times magnification on the sapphire crystal. Slender steel baton hands have Chromalight infill and are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand, at 12 o’clock we have the applied Rolex crown printed underneath "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust", at 6 o’clock "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" completes this elegant timepiece. On the reverse, a coin-edged case back, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 3235, 31 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, this inhouse movement was introduced at BaselWorld 2017, it has 14 patents acquired by the Crown, the modern parts used in manufacturing such as a Paramagnetic Oscillator give the watch robust reliability and resistance to magnetism. The watch comes fitted on its Rolex 21mm Jubilee bracelet, the folding OysterLock clasp has 5mm Easylink micro-adjustments that simplify adjusting the bracelet, and the watch also comes with its Rolex presentation box, swing tag and paperwork.
Personal Note
Whilst it is no secret that I personally prefer a 36mm Datejust, I'm always impressed by how well these larger 41mm Datejust wear on the wrist, especially in this configuration which is arguably one of the most desirable! I was speaking with a customer about this reference and the comparison with a smaller 36mm, I said that this 41mm Datejust feels and looks like a modern Rolex, and this will either be the selling point to you or not. If you are unsure, book an appointment and come try it on for yourself.
The Brand
In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements which were installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. In 1945, they released the Datejust. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960, saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
