Rolex | Ref. 16000

Smooth Bezel Datejust!

Datejust reference 16000 from 1978 in excellent condition and with gorgeous patina. In our opinion, the combination of a smooth steel bezel and Jubilee bracelet is one of the most beautiful versions of the DJ.

The watch case is in dreamlike condition. Sharp edges, thick lugs, and satin-finished or polished where it belongs. Perfect!

The original tritium dial and hands are in excellent condition. The lume has aged evenly and taken on a creamy vanilla hue.

The Jubilee bracelet features the E9 (1980) closure code and is in equally good condition, with only slight stretch considering the age of the watch.

Inside beats the workhorse Calibre 3035.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
