Product Details
- The first authorized history of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust watchThe second book in a series of titles exploring Rolex’s iconic watchesAn essential acquisition for any watch aficionado “We are proud to present this first authorized history of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in partnership with Wallpaper*, beautifully written by Nick Foulkes, celebrating the timeless appeal of this legendary timepiece.” – Arnaud Boetsch, Director of Communication & Image at Rolex The definitive history of the Datejust, this lavishly produced book draws upon Rolex’s official archives to tell the full story of this classic and hugely influential timepiece. Published by Wallpaper* and written by historian and watch expert Nicholas Foulkes, this finely crafted hardback 224-page book traces the evolution of the beloved Datejust across its 80-year existence, from a vision in Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf’s mind’s eye, through to its status as the ultimate watch of achievement. The perennially popular Datejust was Rolex’s inaugural waterproof self-winding chronometer wristwatch, complete with a window at 3 o’clock. Foulkes chronicles the remarkable story behind the creation of what Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf described, at its launch in 1945, as a timepiece that encapsulates “every discovery made to date”. The book also features numerous Rolex Testimonees, highlighting the company’s longstanding partnerships with top athletes such as tennis players Roger Federer, Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz; golfer Scottie Scheffler; and equestrian icons.
