The Design Ethos Of Every Modern Rolex

It is amazing how timeless the original Rolex Date from 1945 is!!! Notice it lacks the Datejust designation on the dial and has no cyclops-lens on the crystal. This model was an absolute game-changer in every way, and I believe this watch represents the absolute design ethos of every modern Rolex. This includes the modern Datejust, Day-Date, Submariner, GMT-Master, Daytona, Explorer, Air-King–you name it, it all began here.

This was the first watch in the world to ad a date-window complication and Rolex introduced the Jubilee Bracelet in 1945 on this model. The reason it is named the Jubilee Bracelet is because the 40th anniversary (in marriage parlance) is typically referred to as The Ruby Jubilee, just as the 25th is referred to as The Silver Anniversary and the 50 Anniversary is referred to as The Golden Anniversary. I also believe it was the first Rolex watch to to have solid end links.

Moa Zedong's Rolex Watches...

The Chairman's Rolex

Communism for the Masses–Capitalism for the Bosses

Chairman Mao Zedong was the father of the Communist Party in China. He owned two yellow gold Rolex Datejust watches. Mao is pictured below in 1928.

Chairman Moa Zedong's Rolex watches were standard in every way, but as you can see below, they have Chinese characters for the Date.

Some Would Say Perfection

This yellow gold Rolex Datejust has a beautiful white porcelain dial with raised yellow gold Roman numerals, a domed bezel and an Oyster bracelet. Some would say this is perfection that can no longer be improved.

Yellow gold Rolex Datejust watches seem to be very rare. I imagine if people spend that much money, they figure they might as well go the Full Monte and get the Day-Date. Either way, this is one good looking watch!!!
