Description from the seller

Timeless Elegant Yellow Gold 18K 750 Automatic Luxury Men's
Wristwatch from the ♛ ROLEX Manufacture House
The Vintage high-fine classic from the 1978 years

Officially Certified Chronometer C.O.S.C.

Model: Oyser Date

The Datejust has set the benchmark for luxury watches since 1945, when this Rolex wonder became the archetype of the modern watch. Inspired by and for the ocean, the Datejust revolution was a fully waterproof, automatic chronometer that framed a date in a window — the first of its kind the world had ever known. The elegant design of this Datejust features a sparkling dial, and the Cyclops Eye of the scratch-resistant crystal makes it one of the most recognizable watches in the world. The Oyster construction consists of a 36-mm case and a bracelet, while reflecting the watch’s dignified appearance.

The Datejust adds performance to style by displaying the date instantly and rapidly and earning the official Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute certification for high precision. The Datejust’s screwed-down crown uses Rolex’s double Twinlock system, providing waterproof protection up to 100 meters. Its innovative hairspring offers maximum resistance to shocks, temperature fluctuations, and magnetic fields. This Rolex is an iconic classic found on the wrists of many world leaders across industries. With the purchase of the Datejust you obtain the same classic look,
with a soft feel and functional operation.
