Elegant and Appealing "Silver Lining"
This beautiful Datejust, reference 16014, features a rare distinction. Only the reference number is engraved between the lugs, without the typical "Registered Design" or "Orig. Rolex Design".
From around 1980 to 1982, the Rolex design patent expired and Rolex stopped engraving "Registered Design". Rolex only resumed engraving "Orig. Rolex Design" from 1982 onwards. This makes the watch a true collector's item.
The magnificent case with sharp edges shows only very slight signs of wear. Therefore, we have decided not to polish the case in order to pass on as much original substance as possible to you.
The luminous dots on the perfect silver dial have taken on a vanilla hue over the decades. At 8 and 9 o'clock, these are very slightly damaged. The dial is stamped "T SWISS T". The Plexiglas has light scratches that are barely visible.
The Jubilee bracelet, reference 62510M, is in perfect condition with hardly any stretch, 555 end links, and is stamped with "F 12".
The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
