The story

The two-tone 36mm Datejust is one of the best-selling Rolexes in the world, the classic gold-and-steel look in the original Datejust size.

The champagne dial on a Jubilee bracelet is the textbook configuration; the Wimbledon dial is the modern favorite.

It trades close to retail pre-owned, so it is a calm, liquid purchase rather than a speculation.

With two-tone back in fashion, it has become the default 'nice watch' for a new generation of buyers.

Our verdict: B: the classic, done right. Easy to buy, easy to resell.
