Rolex Datejust ref. 16030 Sterling Dial circa 1984 serial 859###

The Datejust is quintessential Rolex. It was introduced in the 1940s in solid gold with the reference 4467 and is still an industry icon today. This watch is a fine example of a classy timepiece that has never gone out of style and probably never will as it can be wore, casually professionally as well as formally. The silky sunburn silver dial is forever sharp and pairs with everything. In this era: The 16014 variation points to a white gold fluted bezel. The 16000 is a smooth steel one and 16030 sports an engine turned steel bezel. Today, the Oyster Perpetual series is hands down the most popular of the crown and the OP is some one the original dna. We subjectively love the cohesive look of the rippled steel bezel matching the jubilee—as well as the oyster paired with a smooth bezel. While service history is unknown, the automatic quickset caliber 3035 movement is both healthy and smooth on timegrapher—quickest snaps like it should. The case and bracelet are also clean with minimal signs of wear just a bit on sides of case and just light signs of polish—no notable damage. The dial has some oxidation near 12 and light marks on crystal. The bracelet has typical stretch for a 1979 but not noticeable on wrist and quite comfortable.
