Rolex Datejust 6241

The case measures 36mm across. Case material: Stainless steel or yellow gold. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Rolex produced this reference from 1959 to 1963. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

Mid-era 4-digit Datejust; steel and two-tone variants existed. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

Vintage 4-digit Datejust, circa late 1950s. Collector nicknames are not official Rolex names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
