Partially verified

The Rolex Datejust 41, reference 126303, is a self-winding wristwatch featuring a 41mm two-tone case constructed of yellow gold and stainless steel. It is presented on a matching two-tone solid link Oyster bracelet. The watch face consists of a white dial with applied luminous hour indices and a gold-toned handset. A date aperture is located at the 3:00 position, which is enhanced by a cyclops magnifier on the crystal. The watch is distinguished by its polished smooth gold bezel, a feature noted as being less common within the Datejust model range. The movement is protected by the signature Rolex Oyster case design. This example is reported by the vendor to be in overall condition described as superb, with a clean dial surface. The model belongs to the Datejust 41 series, which was rebranded from the Datejust II in 2016.

Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The wristwatch features a 41mm Oyster case executed in a two-tone combination of stainless steel and yellow gold. The design is characterized by a smooth, polished yellow gold bezel.

The dial is finished in white and incorporates applied luminous indices for hour markers. The handset is finished in gold to complement the case material. A date display is positioned at the 3:00 mark, equipped with the Rolex cyclops magnifier integrated into the crystal. The overall dial surface is described as crisp.
