Rolex Datejust 80309

The Reference 80309 denotes a specific configuration of the Datejust Pearlmaster 29 (c. 2005-2015) in 18k white gold. The technical designator 30 specifies a bezel with a factory-set, two-row pavé application of 40 brilliant-cut diamonds. This setting is more opulent than the single-row “bezel 12” style, giving the watch a domed, fully diamond-encrusted appearance. The 29mm case contains the Caliber 2235 automatic movement, a COSC chronometer. The reference is significant for showcasing the diversity of Rolex’s in-house gem-setting capabilities, offering a median level of diamond embellishment between the simpler and the fully-paved Pearlmaster models. The watch is fitted with the signature Pearlmaster bracelet in 18k white gold and was offered with various high-end dials.
