A Short History of the Datejust
Launched in 1945, the Rolex Datejust was the first wristwatch to display the date through an aperture on the dial, setting a standard for functionality and design. Over the decades it has been refined but fundamentally unchanged in spirit: an elegant, everyday luxury timepiece with broad appeal. Reference 16014 was introduced in the late 1970s/1980s era, equipped with the automatic calibre and a fluted bezel, and remains a popular choice for those seeking a vintage Rolex in wearable dimensions.
