Buying Advice
Choosing Your Rolex Datejust II
If you are looking to buy a Rolex Datejust II, you are shopping for one of the most accessible 41mm Rolex watches on the pre-owned market. A pre-owned Rolex Datejust II offers the larger case size many buyers want, paired with the proven Caliber 3136 movement. The Rolex Datejust II is available in three core configurations: full stainless steel (Rolex 116300), steel with a white gold fluted bezel (Rolex 116334), and steel with yellow gold (Rolex 116333). Each reference has a distinct look, and the choice comes down to how much presence you want on the wrist.
Smooth Bezel or Fluted Bezel
The 116300 features a smooth, polished stainless steel bezel that gives the watch a clean, sporty look. The 116334 and 116333 both feature fluted bezels in 18k gold, adding a dressier edge. The smooth bezel is the most understated option and tends to wear well in casual settings. The fluted bezel catches light and leans more formal. Both are available at Rolex 41mm sizing.
Steel or Two-Tone
The all-steel 116300 is the most affordable Datejust II and works well as an everyday watch. If you prefer a touch of gold, the two-tone Rolex options add warmth and luxury. The 116334 pairs Oystersteel with 18k white gold for a subtle upgrade, while the 116333 uses 18k yellow gold for a bolder, more traditional Rolesor look. Buyers drawn to gold tones may also want to explore our gold Rolex collection for additional options.
Rolex Datejust II Price
The Rolex Datejust II price depends primarily on material and condition. Stainless steel models (ref. 116300) typically range from $8,000 to $10,000 on the pre-owned market. White gold Rolesor models (ref. 116334) generally fall between $9,500 and $12,000, depending on dial configuration. Yellow gold Rolesor models (ref. 116333) start around $11,000 and can reach $14,000 or higher for sought-after dials like the Rolex Wimbledon. Complete sets with box and papers command a premium across all three references. For buyers on a budget, the Rolex watches under $10,000 collection is a great starting point.

Rolex Datejust II FAQ
-
The Rolex Datejust II price varies by reference and condition. Stainless steel models (ref. 116300) typically range from $8,000 to $10,000. White gold Rolesor models (ref. 116334) fall between $9,500 and $12,000. Yellow gold Rolesor models (ref. 116333) range from $11,000 to $14,000. Complete sets with box and papers trade at a premium. Market conditions shift regularly, so contact WatchGuys for the most current pricing on any specific configuration.
-
The Rolex Datejust II measures 41mm in diameter across all three references (116300, 116334, and 116333). It wears slightly larger than the current Datejust 41 due to thicker lugs and a broader bezel profile. The 41mm case works well on medium to larger wrists and delivers a noticeable but comfortable presence.
-
Both watches measure 41mm, but they differ in proportions and movement. The Datejust II (produced 2009 to 2016) uses the Caliber 3136 with a 48-hour power reserve and has thicker lugs with a wider bezel. The Datejust 41 (2016 to present) uses the newer Caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve and features slimmer proportions that more closely match the classic Datejust silhouette. The Datejust 41 is also available with a Jubilee bracelet, while the Datejust II was offered exclusively on the Oyster bracelet.
-
Yes. The Datejust II offers a 41mm Rolex with proven reliability at a lower price point than the current-production Datejust 41. Because it is discontinued, the Datejust II represents strong value for buyers who want a larger Datejust without paying current retail premiums. Its Caliber 3136 movement is robust and well-regarded, and the watch remains fully serviceable by Rolex and independent watchmakers.
-
Check for bracelet stretch, case polishing history, crystal condition, and dial originality. Confirm the reference number matches the bezel and material you expect. A complete set with box, papers, and warranty card holds more value on the secondary market. Always purchase from a dealer that offers an authenticity guarantee and a warranty, so you are protected after the sale.
-
The Rolex Datejust II has remained relatively stable on the secondary market. As a discontinued model, it benefits from a fixed supply, which supports long-term value. Steel models tend to be the most liquid, while two-tone configurations with popular dials (such as the Wimbledon) can command premiums. Like all Rolex watches, condition, completeness, and provenance play a major role in resale value.
-
The Rolex 116300 is the full stainless steel Datejust II with a smooth, polished bezel. The Rolex 116334 combines stainless steel with an 18k white gold fluted bezel, adding a dressier look. Both are 41mm, both use the Caliber 3136, and both come on the Oyster bracelet. The 116334 typically costs $1,500 to $2,000 more due to the white gold bezel.
-
Yes. Rolex discontinued the Datejust II in 2016 and replaced it with the Datejust 41. The Datejust II is no longer available at authorized dealers, which means the pre-owned market is the only way to acquire one. All three references (116300, 116334, and 116333) are available through trusted dealers like WatchGuys.
