Rolex Datejust — Pre-Owned in Atlanta

The Datejust is Rolex's original everyday watch and the line most people picture when they hear the name — introduced in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window, magnified by the Cyclops lens Rolex still uses today. It has been produced in more sizes and configurations than almost any other Rolex line: 36mm has been the classic proportion since the 1950s, alongside 31mm and 28mm for smaller wrists, and the two-year 41mm Datejust II (2009–2016) before the current 41mm Datejust took over. Bezels run from a fluted 18k gold surround to a smooth polished bezel depending on era and metal; bracelets split between the five-piece Jubilee, developed specifically for the Datejust, and the three-piece Oyster. References most searched for span the vintage 1601 and 16014 up through the modern two-tone 116233 and current 126334.

Every used Rolex Datejust we list is a genuine, pre-owned timepiece — never a reproduction or a franken-watch assembled from mismatched parts. We disclose condition plainly: mint, excellent, good or fair, whether it ships with the original box and papers or full set, and any service history we know about. A Datejust without its papers isn't necessarily a concern — many trade without a full set — but we tell you exactly what documentation comes with the specific watch you're looking at before you buy.

Our Rolex models guide covers how the Datejust fits into the rest of the Rolex catalogue. Every Datejust watch listed here is ordered online, then brought into our Snellville showroom and inspected before it's handed to you — it isn't sitting in a case waiting for a walk-in.
