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 particular ref. 16234 is in excellent pre-owned condition, meaning there are only light signs of wear which could easily be polished upon request. The bracelet is in excellent condition, fits up to about 7.50". Additionally, the watch operates within the precise standards set by COSC and has successfully undergone dual pressure evaluations, with the installation of two new gaskets to guarantee optimal water resistance.
