Historical significance

Rolex Datejust 126300-0013 Oyster Perpetual 41mm Green Roman Numerals Grey Dial Mens Watch sits within Rolex's Datejust line, introduced in 2014. It carries the house codes established since 1905 — 18k rose gold case, blue sunburst dial dial and automatic manufacture calibre — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.

Brand history

Rolex has spent more than 121 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Submariner, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.

Hans Wilsdorf established Rolex in 1905, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Rolex calibre produced today.
