Rolex Datejust history

what are the earliest Rolex Datejust model numbers first launched by the company back in the 40's and 50"s? Unveiled in 1945, the Rolex Datejust is the first watch in the world to feature an automatically changing date function.

First Rolex Datejust ever produced bears reference number 4467. It was in full gold and didn't have a cyclops over the date window (it was introduced in 1955).
