Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wore a Rolex Datejust in 1964, the year of his Nobel Peace Prize. Leaders and champions have worn the model ever since. A black diamond dial paired with a fluted 18k Everose gold bezel is a combination you cannot get in plain steel.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. A sunray finish runs across the bright black dial, set with ten diamonds in 18k gold and a Cyclops lens over the date at three o’clock. Solid 18k Everose gold forms the fluted bezel, and its machined grooves are a Rolex signature against the dark dial. Five-piece links in steel and Everose gold make up the Jubilee bracelet. Supple on the wrist, it closes with a folding Oysterclasp and a 5 mm Easylink extension.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Unscrew the screw-down crown and pull it out one stop to quick-set the date on its own. Pull it out a second stop to stop the seconds and set the time exactly. Screw the crown back down to keep the watch waterproof to 100 meters. Inside, the self-winding Caliber 3235 runs for about 70 hours and holds an accuracy of around two seconds a day. 

Comes as a complete set, double boxed with warranty card, watch manual, white Rolex tag, warranty wallet, and green Rolex tag.

It is made for the buyer who wants a Rolex with presence. Everose gold and factory-set diamonds set it apart from plain steel. Leaders wore it then, and you can wear it now.
