The ref. 16234 was among the first five-digit offerings within the Datejust family, and importantly one of the first to also use a sapphire crystal. It also featured the jumping date and the newly updated Cal. 3135 movement. This reference 16234 is in excellent pre-owned condition, showing only minor signs of wear. There is superficial marks on the case but nothing major which couldn't be easily polished. The watch is keeping time within factory specifications. Comes as watch only with a complementary leather watch pouch.
