A very fine example of the Rolex Datejust, reference 16234, produced in 2000 (serial number P70xxxx).
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, silver sunburst “SWISS MADE” dial (SuperLumiNova base) with applied white gold baton hour markers and a closed railway minute track with small black-painted Roman numerals at the 5-minute marks, fluted white gold bezel, steel Jubilee bracelet, highly reliable automatic movement: a perfect watch for everyday wear, equally suited to both men and women!
In excellent overall condition and recently serviced by a qualified watchmaker, this Datejust is a wonderful gateway into the collecting of so-called “neo-vintage” prestige watches. It combines the hallmark traits of Rolex 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 generous power reserve, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
This Datejust ref. 16234 also comes with an International NFC Warranty Card issued following a complete service at an official Rolex retailer in France, and is thus guaranteed by Rolex itself until May 2028.
We are known for our fondness for the Datejust and do our utmost to offer a fine selection at all times.

Detailed description

If only one watch were to 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 distils the essence of Rolex’s technical innovations and stylistic identity: a water-resistant steel Oyster case, a screw-down crown, a reliable and precise automatic movement, a legible dial, and an instantaneous date in a window at 3 o’clock, readable at a single glance thanks to the Cyclops, the magnifying lens fitted to the crystal and patented in the early 1950s.

We present here an excellent example of the reference 16234. Featuring a fluted white gold bezel and a robust steel Jubilee bracelet, this watch boasts a very beautiful and elegant silver sunburst dial with applied baton hour markers and hands in white gold.

This watch is powered by the celebrated Rolex 3135 automatic mechanical caliber, renowned for its outstanding reliability.

Our 16234 is presented in excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, with a flawless dial, a case with sharp edges, a well-defined bezel and a taut bracelet. Its movement has also recently undergone a complete mechanical service to ensure its perfect operation for years to come. Finally, we offer this Datejust ref. 16234 accompanied by an International NFC Warranty Card issued following a complete service at an official Rolex retailer in France; it is thus guaranteed by Rolex itself until May 2028.

Condition

This very beautiful Datejust is presented in excellent overall condition.
The perfectly preserved case features broad, satin-finished lugs, just as when this watch was made in 2000. The fluted white gold bezel is well defined, with crisp grooves and brilliant facets.
The silver sunburst “SWISS MADE” dial is free of any flaws, as are the hands. The hands and hour markers are luminous (SuperLumiNova base).
The Rolex Jubilee bracelet is original (DE1 clasp code indicating production in January 2001) and perfectly preserved, with a very well-defined Rolex crown and no bothersome stretch in the links.
The automatic mechanical movement, Rolex caliber 3135, has been serviced by one of our qualified watchmakers and runs within the strictest tolerances.
In short, a piece more than 25 years old and yet perfectly preserved, both aesthetically and mechanically!

READ MORE ABOUT THE MODEL

The Rolex Datejust: A Heritage of Innovation and Elegance

Introduced in 1945 to mark Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust was the first automatic watch to feature a date window that “jumped” instantly at midnight. This innovation, as so often in Rolex history, transformed the watch industry and set a new standard for convenience and functionality.

Over the decades, the Datejust has benefited from various improvements while retaining its characteristic appearance and pioneering spirit. With its instantly recognizable date window, enlarged by a Cyclops magnifier patented in the 1950s, the Datejust combines practicality and prestige, making it one of the most versatile and celebrated models in the Rolex family.

The universal appeal of the Datejust lies in the diversity of its executions and their timelessness – available in a multitude of sizes, materials and dial configurations, each piece offers something unique while respecting Rolex’s stylistic canons and rigorous technical standards. Whether crafted in stainless steel or in precious metals, featuring simple markers or elaborate diamond settings, each Datejust is designed to stand the test of time, both in terms of style and of mechanical reliability.

Rolex has continually adapted the collection to meet the evolving tastes of its clientele, notably by introducing the Datejust II and Datejust 41 models, which are larger and heavier than the references produced to date.

The Datejust is not just a watch; it’s a piece of heritage that has graced the wrists of the world’s greatest leaders, visionaries, artists and celebrities, making it a symbol of success and achievement across generations. Let’s only name a few of its wearers: Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr, the Dalai Lama, Roger Federer, Jennifer Aniston, Paul Newman, Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Rihanna, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Jacques Chirac, Pope John Paul II, and even Mao Zedong!

Today, the Rolex Datejust, a true “blue chip watch” with timeless style, is the ideal entry point for anyone wishing to discover the world of vintage watch collecting, while still being wearable on a daily basis.
