About this watch

A 31mm Rolex Datejust 68273 from 1987, in steel and 18ct yellow gold, with a champagne baton dial and the fluted gold bezel. It comes with its original box and papers.

From 1987, it is one of the earlier 68273s, the two-tone Datejust 31 that brought a sapphire crystal and quickset date to the mid-size, with the self-winding calibre 2135. Champagne with plain batons is Rolex at its most classic, and the 31mm case suits a smaller wrist that wants a little more presence than a Lady Datejust.

Our watchmakers have serviced and pressure tested it in our Birmingham atelier and graded it excellent throughout. It is currently sized for a wrist of about 16cm, and we can source extra links at additional cost if you need more length.
