The Watch
Here we have a 2021 Rolex Datejust 36mm Blue Dial Jubilee & Fluted 126234 with a polished and brushed curvaceous 36mm 904L OysterSteel case that curves over your wrist with finely tapered lugs. The use of OysterSteel, which belongs to the 904L family, makes the case more resilient to corrosion and highly durable. A lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive and comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed screw-down Twin-lock crown, and an attractive 18ct White Gold fluted bezel holds a sapphire crystal above a stunning sunburst blue dial that catches the light as you rotate your wrist. An outer Rolex rehaut surrounds the minute track with applied 18ct White Gold baton indexes infilled with Chromalight marking the hours, and at 3 o’clock, a date window with cyclops magnification on the crystal. Slender 18ct White Gold baton hands have Chromalight infill and are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand; at 12 o’clock, we have the applied Rolex Coronet Rolex “Oyster Perpetual DateJust” printed underneath, and at 6 o’clock, "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” completes this distinctive versatile timepiece. On the reverse, a coin-edged case back, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 3235, 31 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour COSC Certified high precision movement, launched at Baselworld in 2017. The watch comes paired with its polished and brushed 20mm Rolex stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with a signed flip lock safety clasp and Easylink 5mm extension; all links are provided; the watch also comes with its Rolex presentation box, swing tags and papers

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 developed 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 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.
