Rolex Datejust – Steel White Gold Fluted Bezel White Arabic Numeral Dial President Bracelet Box Papers
Datejust. Steel & White Gold. White Arabic Numeral Dial. Fluted Bezel. President Bracelet. Box & Papers. Rolex.
The Rolex Datejust in Steel and White Gold with White Arabic Numeral Dial, Fluted Bezel, and President Bracelet is one of the rarest, most culturally significant, and most collectible Datejust dial configurations ever produced — a watch that combines the Datejust’s timeless horological authority with a dial variant of extraordinary rarity and regional specificity that commands intense collector demand far beyond the standard Datejust market. The Datejust is Rolex’s most enduring and celebrated model — the world’s first self-winding waterproof chronometer with a date display, introduced in 1945 and produced continuously ever since, the single most universally recognised luxury watch silhouette in existence. This example is configured in steel and white gold Rolesor — a stainless steel case and bracelet combined with a white gold fluted bezel, the fluting’s precisely machined diagonal grooves in bright white gold creating a jewellery-quality bezel of exceptional refinement. The President bracelet — Rolex’s most prestigious bracelet, characterised by its semi-circular three-piece links — is in steel, its polished and brushed surfaces providing a clean, dressy character. What makes this Datejust an extraordinary collector’s piece is its dial: a white dial with Arabic numeral hour markers in Eastern Arabic/Indic script — the hour positions marked not with the standard Roman or Western Arabic numerals but with the Eastern Arabic numerals (also called Indic numerals or منظومة عربية), the numeral forms used across the Arab world, rendered in black against the white dial in an elegant, calligraphic style. This Arabic numeral dial configuration is produced by Rolex specifically for the Middle Eastern market and is available only through authorised dealers in select markets — making it one of the most sought-after and regionally specific Datejust dial variants, commanding significant collector premiums on the secondary market globally. The dial layout is distinctive: the hour numerals in Arabic script around the chapter ring, a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and a magnified date window at 6 o’clock with a blue aperture. The hands are in pencil/stick profile in steel. The watch is presented with the original Rolex green presentation box and papers/booklets, confirming its provenance and authenticity.
