Model: 16234 18k white gold fluted bezel. Condition: Good (only somewhat noticeable defect is indent in bezel at 5 o clock. Difficult to photo) Year: 2005Scope: Rolex pouch, Serviced 07/2020 will include service receipt. Movement: Automatic. Quick set date Case Width: 36mm Strap: comes with original oyster bracelet and after market non-Rolex jubilee. Price: priced to sell at $4999 shipped, only trade I’m interested in is a black bay 58 blue with bracelet for trade value of $2500. One of the cheapest 2000s datejust I’ve seen on WatchRecon. Relatively firm but always open to reasonable offers Take: The 16234 straddles between the perfect blend of vintage and modern. 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 quick set date (which is incredibly useful when rotating the watch vs other older date justs), 18K white gold bezel, and the newly updated Cal. 3135 movement. This article highlights the improvements/upgrades made in the 16234 model vs the older 1601 model.
