Very nice example of Rolex Datejust, reference 16234, produced in 1989 (serial number L89xxxx).
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, sunburst "SWISS MADE" blue dial (SuperLumiNova base) with applied white gold baton hour markers and closed/railroad minute track with painted Roman numerals at 5-minute graduations, fluted white gold bezel, Jubilee bracelet, highly reliable automatic movement: a perfect watch to wear every day, for both men and women!
In excellent overall condition and recently serviced by a qualified watchmaker, this Datejust is a fantastic entry point into the world of prestigious "neo-vintage" watches. It combines the characteristic features of the brand's best models throughout the 20th century (an elegant slim case and satin-finished lugs) with the practical advantages of modern watches: durable stainless steel, a robust bracelet, a reliable movement with a long power reserve, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
At Amplitude°, we are known to appreciate the Datejust and do our best to always offer a great selection – contact us to find yours!

Detailed description

If only one watch could remain, it would be a Rolex Datejust.

Since its creation in 1945, the Datejust has embodied the pinnacle of functionality and style in the world of luxury watches. This collection concentrates the essence of the technical innovations and stylistic identity of the brand with the crown: a waterproof Oyster case in steel, a screw-down crown, a reliable and precise automatic movement, a legible dial, and an instantaneous date window at 3 o'clock, made visible at a glance by the Cyclops lens, a magnifying lens affixed to the crystal, patented in the early 1950s.

We present here an excellent example of reference 16234. Featuring a fluted white gold bezel and a solid steel Jubilee bracelet, this watch has a very beautiful and elegant sunburst/radiant blue dial with applied baton hour markers and white gold hands.

This watch is powered by the famous and highly reliable Rolex 3135 self-winding mechanical caliber.

Our 16234 is presented in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, with a flawless dial, a sharply defined case, a well-defined bezel, and a taut bracelet. Its movement has also recently undergone a complete mechanical overhaul by a qualified watchmaker to ensure its perfect operation for many years to come.

Condition

This very beautiful Datejust is presented in excellent overall condition.
The perfectly preserved case features wide, satin-finished lugs just like when this watch was first sold in 1989. The fluted white gold bezel is well-defined, with crisp striations and brilliant facets.
The blue sunburst/radiant dial, marked "SWISS MADE," which was installed during a Rolex service, is flawless, as are the hands. The hands and hour markers are luminescent (Super-LumiNova base).
The Rolex Jubilee bracelet was produced in June 2010 (clasp code RS6), and is perfectly preserved, with a very defined Rolex crown and no stretch between the links.
The self-winding mechanical movement, caliber Rolex 3135, has been serviced by one of our qualified watchmakers and operates within the strictest tolerances.
In short, a piece over 35 years old and yet perfectly preserved both aesthetically and mechanically!
