Rolex Datejust 36mm 16220; Vintage Automatic Watch

Description

The Rolex Datejust 16220 is one of the iconic and timeless models from the Rolex collection. This steel version combines classic elegance with sporty versatility, a true all-rounder for any occasion and everyday use. This model, a so-called 'S-serial' from 1994/1995, features the specific typical 'Engine-Turned' steel bezel and sapphire crystal. This watch is in very good condition.

Notably, the slightly discolored 'patina' silver-colored dial has acquired a yellowish hue. With a case diameter of 36mm, this watch has the traditional and most beloved Datejust size. The combination of the steel case/bezel and the characteristic Jubilee bracelet provides a luxurious and recognizable appearance.

Inside, it houses the high-quality Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement. This caliber is known worldwide for its reliability, precision, and long lifespan and has formed the backbone of many Rolex models for decades. The movement, like the entire watch, is in excellent condition and runs perfectly and very accurately (measured +1 sec./24h).

This specific piece is particularly special due to its overall excellent condition, with the original case finish perfectly preserved, which is something that is becoming increasingly rare in vintage Datejust models. We consciously choose to leave it as is! Light signs of wear, but nothing unusual. We prefer not to polish vintage gems like this.

Furthermore, this is a unique opportunity for fans of a 'birthyear watch', this timepiece was delivered around 1994/1995 and is also equipped with the correct bracelet (clasp code 'T') from that period.

The original steel Jubilee bracelet with the correct 'clasp code' (thus the bracelet belongs to the year of manufacture) is in exceptionally good condition, with hardly any stretch, and fits comfortably up to approximately 18.5cm wrists. The crown on the clasp is sharp. Notably, the sides of the clasp show some light dents, nothing unusual, but worth mentioning, and we have also made this extra clear in the photo.

The watch is delivered including:

• -Original vintage Rolex box

• -Our guarantee report with 1 year warranty

A classic and highly sought-after Rolex Datejust, thanks to its pristine overall condition. Ideal as a 'birthyear watch' or as a timeless addition to any collection.
