This 1967 example of the iconic "Datejust" by Rolex has elements of far better condition than its age would suggest - the pie pan dial is crisp and clean, the fluted bezel is still nicely cut and not overly polished as one would expect to find with most examples from the period. The early Jubilee bracelet is in good condition and easily worn. Overall a truly excellent, unmolested example of the classic Datejust reference from the 1960s that any true collector would be proud to own.
