The Datejust is the most liquid dress-capable Rolex on the market — the 1945 reference that first put a self-winding waterproof chronometer behind a date Cyclops. Four case sizes, every metal pairing, and a near-endless dial book mean there's a Datejust at almost every budget, which is exactly why it moves fast at the dealer level.

Price the size first: 26mm and 31mm trade soft and skew ladies', 36mm is the liquid unisex benchmark, 41mm carries a sportier premium. Metal sets the floor — Oystersteel, then Rolesor two-tone (steel/yellow or Everose), then solid gold, each a clean price step up. Within one reference, bezel (fluted, smooth, gem-set) and dial (sunburst, motif, diamond markers) open real spreads. Current 126234 (36mm steel) is the easy-flip reference with deep buyer demand; vintage 6517 is a patina-dial play for collectors. Full set lifts the number — condition and originality are non-negotiable on a wholesale buy.
1945 original set the format; the 1600-series owned the '60s–'70s; the 16xxx cal. 3135 era ran the '80s–'90s; mid-2000s added the 178xxx/179xxx ladies' refs; from 2016 the current 126xxx brought Syloxi hairsprings, new mid-cases, and updated bracelets.
References in stock: 16233, 16014, 16013, 69178, 126334-0027, 126333, 1601, 69173, 116233, 126333-0010, 126334-0005, 116334.
The $3,539–$32,200 spread is the whole Datejust arc in one line: vintage steel ladies' at entry, current 36mm steel mid-book, solid gold and factory gem-set at the ceiling. Current live range: $3,150 – $39,750. Prices shown are the full card price; bank-wire payment saves about 3.4%.
Model names, references and specifications are referenced from the official Rolex Newsroom (www.rolex.com). Trademarks and product imagery rights remain with the manufacturer; product photography shown is of our own inventory.
This Rolex Datejust stock sits on a working wholesale desk at 650 S. Hill St., in the middle of the downtown Los Angeles jewelry district — not in a boutique and not in someone else’s showcase. We own what is listed, which is why the number on the page is a trade number rather than a retail one.
Every listing carries two figures: the card price, which is the price shown, and the wire price, which takes roughly 3.4% off. If you are local you are welcome to come and see the piece on the bench before you buy — call the desk first and it will be out and ready. If you are not, it goes out overnight and fully insured.
