Created to mark Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust represented a defining milestone in modern watchmaking. It was the world’s first self-winding, waterproof wristwatch to feature a date display that changed instantaneously at midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"128\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"529\"\u003eUnlike purpose-built sports models such as the Submariner, designed for diving, or the Daytona, developed for motorsport enthusiasts, the Datejust was conceived as a versatile and refined timepiece intended for everyday elegance.
