Rolex Datejust 68274

Reference 68274 is the archetypal White Rolesor model from the 31mm ‘Mid-Size’ Datejust 68xxx series, produced from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. The technical specification ‘White Rolesor’ (4) denotes a bi-metal construction, combining a stainless steel case and bracelet with a solid 18k white gold fluted bezel (27 code). The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135, the first Rolex mid-size caliber to achieve COSC chronometer certification. Early models were fitted with an acrylic crystal, while later examples were upgraded to a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
