about the watch
In Rolex's long and rich history, few models can lay claim to such renown as the Datejust. Born in 1945, the model has seen many variations and combinations of cases, bracelets and dials.
Reference 16014 saw the introduction of the quick date setting, which adds simplicity of use without compromising the vintage look of the piece.
This particular piece, with its silver dial, fluted white gold bezel and jubilee bracelet, remains probably the best-known and most sought-after version, thanks in no small part to its versatility. The fascinating dial varies from metallic silver to a light champagne colour depending on the light, giving it a lively, dynamic appearance on the wrist.
The indexes and hands are in tritium, the latter having gained a beautiful light beige patina that makes the piece all the more attractive.
The overall condition of the watch is excellent, with plenty of material left on the case and sharp corners. It is the perfect starting point for a collection and a must-have for any serious watch enthusiast.
The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. Certainly the watch has been refreshed, but no heavy polishing was made.
The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too. The bracelet is the original one, reference 62510H, and has no stretch.
The watch is sold alone, without box or papers. We provide a Veritas travel pouch.
The movement is the original caliber 3035, which runs well.
