Why This Watch Matters Because not all Datejusts are created equal. The Full Story The Rolex Datejust is the quintessential daily watch. It looks good, it’s well made, and it’s tim eless. The Datejust can be found in a variety of finishes and metals, and it would be impossible not to find one that suits your specific tastes. The reference 16014 we have here is one of the nicest Datejust examples we've seen in a while; the overall condition is astounding, from the crisp case to the intact white-gold fluted bezel. And of course, it comes with the iconic Jubilee bracelet; here it is period correct and has maintained its original shape. If you are looking for a near-perfect Datejust, this is it.
