Description from the seller

Rolex Datejust ref. 68240 – Blue dial with Roman numerals – Steel – 1997 – Full set

Elegant Rolex Datejust ref. 68240 in steel, produced and sold in 1997, accompanied by original box, original warranty card filled, booklets, warranty tag, and chronometer certificate.

The watch features a refined blue dial with applied Roman numerals, original and never reprinted. The dial is in excellent condition, with no noticeable stains or oxidation. The cyclops on the date is well preserved and the sapphire crystal shows no visible scratches or chips.

The steel case measures 31 mm excluding the crown and is paired with a smooth steel bezel. The watch has been slightly polished recently, yet maintains a very balanced appearance. Only normal signs of wear expected with age and use are present.

The automatic movement is functioning. The watch winds regularly, the date changes correctly, and the crown adjusts hour and date properly. Precision has been tested, but the last service is not known.

The bracelet is a Rolex Oyster in steel ref. 78350-17, with ends 551 B and signed clasp Rolex with code Z6 78350. The bracelet comprises 9 links, shows no obvious play, and the clasp operates correctly.

The serial number is present, but will not be publicly disclosed for privacy reasons.
