Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust became the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date automatically in an aperture on the dial—a defining innovation in modern horology. Reference 116200 represents a late-20th-century iteration of this enduring design, combining Rolex’s Oyster case construction with refined classical elements, including Roman numerals and a polished stainless-steel finish.

This example retains its original accessories, reflecting both its careful preservation and the importance Rolex places on presentation and provenance.
