WHY THIS WATCH

Known by some as the perfect, everyday wristwatch, the Rolex Datejust, introduced in 1945, revolutionized wristwatches with its automatically changing date function. As Rolex's flagship model, it showcases the brand's innovation and elegance. The Datejust's Oyster case, waterproof and robust, houses the perpetual self-winding movement. Renowned for its versatility, the timepiece remains a symbol of prestige and timeless style.

The Rolex Datejust 16234 was introduced in the late 1980s and introduced a sapphire crystal and a brand new calibre 3135. Many collectors consider the introduction of the sapphire crystal as the end of the vintage Datejust era. So many collectors loved the warm hugh of the acrylic and the way it bends and plays with the light. Others see the sapphire as necessary progress. As sapphire has a hardness second only to a diamond, these crystals are nearly scratch free forever (though we have seen some scratch, it's harder to do so). The calibre 3135 introduced a full balance bridge and upped jewel count, and an added 8 hours of power reserve. Note that the previous generation calibre 3035 already had the quick-set date function, so that's nothing new. The addition of the sapphire crystal, alongside the calibre 3135 makes these watches absolute tanks that will run forever and look good in the process.

With reference 16234, the digit '3' indicates that the watch features a White Gold Fluted Bezel. Note that this watch is the brother of the 16220, which is the same watch, just with an engine-turned steel bezel. So if you're looking for a datejust from this era, with a gold fluted bezel, this is the one to get.

The Rolex Datejust 16220 utilizes the automatic caliber 3135, one of the most bullet-proof calibres of all time. The calibre 3135 a highly reliable and accurate movement which was introduced in 1988. It boasts 31 jewels, a 28,800 beats-per-hour frequency, and a 48-hour power reserve. The caliber 3135 features a quickset date function and a free-sprung balance wheel, exemplifying Rolex's dedication to precision and innovative engineering.
