Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 150,000th Rolex Chronometer Datejust

Rolex presented this yellow-gold Datejust to Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1951 as its 150,000th officially certified chronometer, marking his appointment as Supreme Commander of NATO forces. The case back was engraved with Eisenhower’s initials, making it a specific presentation object as well as a company production milestone. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Rolex source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
