Rolex | Ref. 16000

Smooth Bezel Buckley!

Datejust reference 16000 from 1983 in good, worn condition with a magnificent dial. As has been mentioned before, the combination of a smooth steel bezel and Jubilee bracelet is one of the most beautiful combinations—even more so here with a light grey Buckley dial.

The watch case is in good condition. Sharp edges, thick lugs, and satin-finished or polished where it should be. There is some light corrosion between the lugs at 6 o'clock and on the upper right lug. However, this is only visible upon very close inspection and does not detract from the overall appearance.

The original tritium dial and hands are in very good condition. The luminous material has aged evenly and taken on a creamy vanilla hue. The luminous plot at 9 o'clock was replaced in the past. The highlight is certainly the light grey colour of the Buckley dial, which gives the watch an incredibly distinctive character.

The period-correct Jubilee bracelet has age-related stretch.
