Stainless Steel and 18K Yellow Gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Swiss watch

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust is a distinguished two-tone 18K yellow gold and stainless steel watch featuring the highly desirable QuickSet function and the exceptionally rare black pyramid dial. Housed in an oyster case crafted in steel with a yellow gold fixed fluted bezel, the watch embodies the timeless elegance and unmistakable DNA of the Datejust line. The screw-down Twinlock crown, also fashioned from yellow gold, ensures the robust 10 ATM (100 meters/330 feet) water resistance for which the Oyster case is renowned. 

The original black “Pyramid” dial is a standout feature, showcasing a geometric, textured pattern prized by collectors for its rarity and architectural aesthetic. Applied yellow gold Roman numeral hour markers, matching gold hands, and the Rolex coronet at the 12 o'clock position lend the dial a rich, opulent presence. The display is signed “Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified, Swiss Made,” affirming its prestige and chronometer-tested precision. At the three o'clock position sits the classic Cyclops-magnified date aperture, enhanced by Rolex’s QuickSet mechanism for effortless date adjustment. Powering this model is the legendary Caliber 3135, an in-house automatic movement manufactured entirely by Rolex. 

Known for its accuracy, durability, and ease of service, this 31-jewel movement delivers a 42-hour power reserve and has long been considered one of Rolex’s most reliable calibers. Completing the piece is the iconic Jubilee bracelet, presented here in bi-metal stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. Introduced in 1945 alongside the first Datejust, the Jubilee bracelet is celebrated for its supple five-link construction, exceptional comfort, and elegant drape on the wrist. A secure steel fold clasp ensures a refined and functional fit. 

Originally introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust became the world’s first self-winding, waterproof wristwatch to display the date in a window, a milestone that helped cement Rolex as a leader in precision watchmaking. By the early 1990s, the 36mm two-tone Datejust with Caliber 3135 had become one of the brand’s signature models, combining technical excellence with dress-sport versatility. This watch was likely produced between 1990 and 1995.

Founded in 1905, Rolex is one of the world’s most respected Swiss watchmakers, celebrated for its pioneering innovations, including the first waterproof wristwatch (the Oyster) in 1926 and the first self-winding mechanism with a Perpetual rotor in 1931. Known for precision, durability, and timeless design, Rolex maintains rigorous in-house testing standards and produces its own alloys, such as Oystersteel and Rolesor, to ensure exceptional performance and lasting beauty. The Datejust remains one of the brand’s most enduring icons, blending technical excellence with classic elegance.
