Outstanding 1996 Steel and Solid Gold Rolex Datejust Full Set ‘Quick-Date-Set’ Gents Wristwatch

The Overview

This is a simply beautiful example of the iconic Rolex Datejust from 1996. The steel and solid white gold (fluted bezel) case is in near faultless condition with only the most minimal signs of wear. The original Rolex signed steel pearlescent dial is again in excellent condition and looks classically understated. The super high grade Rolex signed chronometer standard automatic movement is again in excellent condition and it’s just been serviced by our professional watchmaker. To complete this stunning watch we’ve added a new, super high quality, black Hirsch ‘London’ alligator strap with steel Hirsch buckle. Very rarely we also have the following provenance:

  • The original Rolex punched papers
  • The correct Rolex swing tag (with the serial number) and Rolex chronometer chip
  • The Rolex calendar and pouch
  • The original Rolex box – inner and outer

As few as 1 in 40 watches of this age have the original paperwork…

In view of the high quality and condition we will give a 12 month guarantee on the watch.
