This 36mm Rolex Datejust, reference 16234, is a classic stainless steel model from 1988, enhanced with a striking aftermarket green diamond dial that sets it apart from traditional configurations. The vibrant green tone adds a modern, custom look, while the diamond hour markers bring in a layer of luxury and brilliance. The dial layout remains functional and refined, featuring Rolex’s signature date window at 3 o’clock with a Cyclops magnifier integrated into the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Surrounding the dial is a factory 18k white gold fluted bezel, one of Rolex’s most iconic design elements, adding contrast and elegance to the steel case. The bezel remains sharp with defined edges, maintaining its original character.
Powered by Rolex’s automatic Caliber 3135 movement, this watch delivers reliable, self-winding performance with smooth date changes and long-term accuracy. The movement is housed in a stainless steel Oyster case, offering durability and water resistance suitable for everyday wear.
The watch is paired with a stainless steel Jubilee bracelet, known for its comfortable five-link design and refined look. The bracelet measures approximately 8 inches in length and can be resized to ensure the perfect fit. There is some light stretch to the band, which is typical for a watch of this vintage, but it remains structurally sound and wearable. The clasp closes securely and retains the Rolex crown logo. This watch is in excellent pre-owned condition, with no major flaws or defects.
It will be delivered in a generic green presentation box. A lifetime warranty is included (see terms), and a full professional appraisal can be provided upon request. This includes photographs, serial and model verification, and a written valuation suitable for insurance purposes.
Originally manufactured in 1988, this Rolex Datejust 16234 combines vintage authenticity with contemporary upgrades, offering a unique blend of Rolex heritage and custom luxury. Whether you’re looking for a standout piece to wear daily or a conversation starter to add to your collection, this green diamond dial Datejust delivers on both style and substance.
