Rolex President Datejust 31mm Yellow Gold 1995-1996 for Sale

The Rolex President Datejust 31mm Yellow Gold 1995-1996 is for sale as a one-off piece. The Datejust introduced the automatically changing date window in 1945 and remains the most versatile watch in the catalogue.

The case measures 31mm in yellow gold. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist. It is factory or aftermarket gem-set; the dial and bezel stones are described in the listing photography.

A date display is set into the dial. Production dates to 1995-1996. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Condition is stated as Pre-owned. It is accompanied by Rolex papers and presentation non-Rolex box.

Buying this Rolex Datejust 68278 31mm Yellow Gold

Above all, we hold one Rolex Datejust 68278 31mm Yellow Gold rather than a restockable line. Therefore the watch in the gallery is the watch that ships to you. For example, we photograph the caseback and the clasp, not only the dial. Meanwhile, you can weigh it against Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm Stainless Steel 2011, or against Rolex Datejust 31mm Rose Gold Stainless Steel 2021 278341RBR. Similarly, the rest of our Rolex watches and the wider watch collection move every week.

How we authenticate and grade it

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because sunlight fades a dial faster than wear does, store it out of direct light. In addition, how we authenticate sets out the process.

Shipping and import charges

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram shows what has just landed, and Facebook carries the same arrivals.
