In the days leading up to Baselworld 2017, Rolex has placed a heavy emphasis on the Datejust model on their official social media accounts. Most of the predictions leading up to the event focus on their professional models. However, if their social media updates serve as an indication of what they will be presenting, it looks like the Datejust may be the model to watch out for.

The video above was posted to the official Rolex Instagram account in mid-February. It ties the history of the Oyster case and date aperture at 3 o'clock to the introduction of the Datejust model as a Throwback Thursday post. A week later, the video below was posted featuring the current Rolesor Datejust configuration.
