Rolex Datejust 68289 Description

Reference 68289 is an exceptionally rare, factory gem-set model from the 31mm ‘Mid-Size’ Datejust 68xxx series, produced from the 1980s to the 1990s. Its technical specification denotes a case constructed from 18k white gold (9) with the 28 configuration code. This code specifies a factory brilliant-cut diamond bezel paired with a factory 18k white gold President bracelet whose center links are also factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135. The significance of the Ref. 68289 lies in its status as a top-tier, fully integrated jewelry timepiece in the less common 31mm size, making it a pinnacle of discreet opulence from its era.
