The Rolex Datejust is a watch that needs no introduction...

The so-called “six-digit” Datejusts (reference variants with six digits) evolved from the original Oyster Perpetual Datejust line, and now exist as the contemporary standard for the line.

These models showed up in the early 2000s and offer updated cases and bracelets, while still retaining the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have similar variation for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations.

This particular example, a Reference 178288, features a 31mm 18k yellow gold Oyster case with matching yellow gold President bracelet, a yellow gold diamond-encrusted bezel, and a stunning mother-of-pearl dial with factory applied diamond indices with a matching handset.

These timepieces are incredibly usable for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.
