Datejust "Tapestry"

Rolex | Ref. 16220

Sold

Daily Rocker Datejust!

Wonderful Datejust with a rare silver "Tapestry" dial featuring vertical lines, in a great combination with an engine-turned steel bezel and Jubilee bracelet.

The watch is an R-series and dates from 1988.

The watch case is in dreamlike condition. In our assessment, the watch is completely unpolished. In addition, the sides and surfaces show hardly any signs of wear for over 35 years.

The Jubilee bracelet shows hardly any stretch, and the clasp, like the case, has never been polished and has only a few signs of wear. The clasp code is consistent with the year of manufacture.

The original tritium dial in the "Tapestry" design is in fabulous condition and is slowly drifting into a darker, cream-colored tone. The original tritium hands are in equally beautiful condition.
