The story

The simplest current Datejust: all steel, smooth bezel, 36mm. It is the most affordable way into the Datejust line new.

With no gold anywhere, it reads as understated and modern, especially in blue or mint green.

It trades a little above retail because the entry-level Datejust is always in demand.

Same 3235 movement and 70-hour power reserve as the far more expensive Datejusts.

Our verdict: B: the entry-level Datejust, and a very sensible one.
