While Rolex has produced many iconic models, one of the most recognizable is the Rolex Two-Tone Datejust. Of course, in the Rolex world, two-tone refers to the use of both gold and steel in one watch. In replica Rolex parlance, this is officially known as a Rolesor, and since the combination of steel and gold is the hallmark of Rolex watches, and the brand’s flagship model is the Datejust, the use of these two hallmarks for the production of the two-tone Datejust would inevitably lead to a superbly successful model.
In some cases, the case size of Rolex Datejust II can be very large. The Rolex Datejust is usually available with either the more decent Jubilee strap or, the sportier Oyster strap. The bracelet of a two-tone Datejust is usually the place where the contrast between gold and steel is most accentuated. The gold center link mirrors the steel outer link, giving the watch the famous Rolesor look. Of course, the contrast is much more pronounced when gold and steel are combined than in the more understated white gold and steel options.
While on some Rolesor models, the bracelet is not necessarily in any yellow gold, on the two-tone Datejust, the bezel is always in yellow gold. Gold bezels are available in white gold, yellow gold, or Everose pink gold. In addition, the bezel can be either the classic fluted type or the more fashionable rounded type. The Rolesor Datejust II pictured here is made almost entirely of stainless steel, with the addition of a fluted bezel in 18k white gold.
The most popular two-tone Rolex Datejust is the Lady-Datejust version, which is said to outsell the rest of the Rolex line consistently. This is not surprising, as the two-tone Lady-Datejust offers a wonderfully versatile luxury watch for women. The two-tone construction in steel and gold means that it is easier to match with silver and gold jewelry, as well as hardware on handbags, belts, and shoes. While the popularity of ladies wearing men’s Rolex sports replica watches is on the rise, the two-tone Lady-Datejust will always have a place among stylish women everywhere.
Vintage Datejust models are a great way to own a two-tone Rolex. They are often one of the most affordable options on the pre-owned market. They have a unique and desirable vintage aesthetic with old-fashioned design elements such as acrylic crystals and pie plate dials. A popular vintage Rolex Datejust is the Ref. 1601. While Rolex produces this model in various metal finishes, steel and gold are the most recognizable ones.
