Known to Rolex as the Dato-Compax, but to collectors as the ‘Jean Claude Killy,’ the ref. 4767 launched in 1947 and marked a significant milestone, as it was Rolex's first Dato-Compax wristwatch housed within a water-resistant Oyster case. Rolex introduced a total of five distinct Oyster Dato-Compax variations: references 4767, 4768, 5036, 6036, and 6236, all affectionately referred to as 'Jean-Claude Killy' models, nicknamed after the famous French three-time Olympic champion skier who was spotted wearing the model. These watches were crafted in yellow and pink gold, as well as stainless steel, seen here.
