It took me the better part of a year to track down this rare stone-dial version of the Datejust, featuring my favorite gemstone, Lapis Lazuli. Initially I wanted one with 10 diamond markers, but I have yet to see one with all factory parts in the oyster steel/YG combo (since I’ve been looking), as I’m not interested in Frankenwatches. So when this 2-diamond version in pristine condition popped up on Chrono24 with all original paperwork, packaging, etc. I knew I had to have it. And since the 26mm face is so small, I actually like that there are less markers, so more of the gorgeous blue shows. Pics really don’t do it justice; in the sunlight there are lots of flecks of gold visible that play off the gold hardware beautifully!
Thanks for letting me share my first Rolex! I’m already dreaming about my second; this is a dangerous journey!
