The Reference 68246 represents the pinnacle of the mid-size Datejust line. Primarily produced in the late 1990s and crafted in solid 950 platinum, this reference is distinguished by its smooth bezel and significant heft. It offers a ‘stealth-wealth’ appeal that sets it apart from more common stainless steel or white gold models. Because platinum Rolex timepieces are produced in significantly lower quantities than gold or steel—and carried a much higher original retail price—this example represents a rare opportunity for the serious enthusiast.
