Description
This Rolex Datejust reference 16234 showcases the timeless 36mm Oyster case in stainless steel, paired with a classic black leather strap for a refined and versatile look. Originally manufactured as an all stainless steel model, this piece has been tastefully converted to a two tone appearance, now featuring an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, a matching yellow gold crown, and a striking gold dial with Roman numerals. The warm gold accents contrast beautifully against the stainless steel case, giving the watch a more luxurious presence while maintaining the clean lines of the Datejust design.
The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and features the signature date display at 3 o’clock with Rolex’s quickset functionality for easy adjustment. Inside, it houses a reliable Rolex automatic self-winding movement, known for its durability and precision, making this watch suitable for everyday wear or more formal occasions.
This example carries an “L” serial number, dating production to approximately 1989, placing it within a desirable vintage era of Rolex manufacturing. The watch is in excellent pre-owned condition with only light surface wear consistent with careful use. The case remains well preserved, the bezel is crisp, and the dial is clean and attractive with no major flaws or defects.
The black leather strap adds comfort and a dressier profile compared to a bracelet, while still allowing for easy replacement if a different style is desired. The watch wears well on the wrist and offers a classic 36mm presence that remains one of the most sought-after sizes in the Rolex lineup.
This watch does not include the original Rolex box or papers but will be delivered in a generic green watch box for presentation and storage. A professional appraisal is available upon request for documentation and insurance purposes. The watch is backed by our lifetime warranty, providing long-term confidence in your purchase. (see terms)
