If you're looking for a vintage watch for daily use, the Rolex Datejust is apparently the first to consider! It combines basically everything you may need on daily basis: outstanding timeless design matching literally any outfit, perfectly balanced 36 mm size, waterproof capabilities of the famous oyster family and of course legendary precision and durability of Rolex automatic chronometer movements.
This particular piece from 1974 is notable for its rose gold fluted bezel, a beautiful silver pie pan dial in flawless condition with perfect lume and a very strong unpolished case with sharp edges. Rolex produced the two tone rose gold variant for only 3 years and you rarely see them on the market especially in this condition.
