We love these early DJs…

These early Datejusts are superb, with the thicker case and case back and early dial and hand styles.

This example is extra special as it has a white gold fluted bezel, with that early fine fluted design that we love so much. The dial is in excellent original condition, with the 50s styling evident in the OCC text, roulette date wheel and dagger hands. These Rolex big bubbleback watches are known by their Italian nickname ‘Ovettone’ (big egg) due to the exceptional depth of case. This was necessary due to the auto-wind rotor and so the case back is deep and rounded. The case remains in outstanding condition.

This DJ has a Cyclops-free tropic crystal installed, giving a cool and sporty look to the watch. The watch comes on a so-called ‘Coffee Bean’ Jubilee bracelet with 50 endlinks, and has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
