Choose a size
Datejust references in our catalog come in 31 mm, 36 mm and 41 mm. Sort the table by size and compare within one size first; the 31 mm references also appear on our women's Rolex page, and the Lady-Datejust has its own collection page.
Steel, two-tone or gold
The case column shows each reference's metal as our catalog records it, including steel with a gold bezel and steel and gold together. The reference number changes with the metal and bezel, so the table is the quickest way to see the variants of one model side by side.
Dials and bracelets
Many Datejust references were offered with several dials and with more than one bracelet. Some dials have their own pages, such as the Wimbledon. Check the dial and bracelet of the watch you are offered against the reference page, because both can move its price.
Before you buy
- Match the reference and serial on the papers to the watch.
- Confirm the dial, bezel and bracelet against the reference page.
- Compare the asking price with the individual sold prices on the reference page.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Rolex Datejust?
We publish a pre-owned range for 81 of the 121 Datejust references here. Their midpoints run from $4,050 for the Datejust 1600 to $24,100 for the Datejust 31 278383RBR. Each reference page shows its own range and the sales behind it.
How much should I pay for a used Datejust?
Start from the range on the page of the exact reference, then adjust for condition, box and papers, and service history. The individual sold prices listed on that page show what comparable watches went for.
Are Datejust models cheaper than other Rolex watches?
The lowest Datejust midpoint in our data is $4,050 for the Datejust 1600. Our cheapest Rolex page ranks every reference with a published range across all collections, so you can see where Datejust references sit.
What sizes does the Datejust come in?
The references in our catalog have 31, 36 or 41 mm cases. The smaller Lady-Datejust is a separate collection with its own page, and the 31 mm references also appear on our women's Rolex page.
Why do some Datejust references show no price?
We only publish a pre-owned range when enough recent, sourced sale results back it. A reference without one shows how many sold prices are on file so far, and its range appears once there are enough.
How do I sell a Rolex Datejust?
Find the reference number on the papers, note the dial, bezel and bracelet, gather the box and any service records, and compare more than one offer. Our sell form takes four short steps, and we review every request.
Where to buy
- Dealers. Choose one that offers a return period and puts the reference, serial and condition in writing.
- Auction houses. Results are public after the sale, and a buyer's premium is added to the hammer price.
- Private sellers. Meet somewhere safe, check the papers against the watch, and pay in a traceable way.
Wherever you buy, have a watchmaker confirm the movement and serial before any return period ends. Each reference page above shows the recent sold prices we have on file, so you can compare an asking price with what the same reference has sold for.
