Datejust 36mm Steel and White Gold

The Rolex Datejust 16234 represents a significant period in Datejust evolution, showcasing the model's transition to modern manufacturing while maintaining classical proportions. This vintage 36mm timepiece features distinctive Rolesor construction with 18k white gold fluted bezel and a lustrous silver dial that creates timeless sophistication. The Jubilee bracelet adds formal elegance, though our experts note the bracelet requires attention with two links missing screws—a common issue with vintage Jubilee bracelets that can be easily addressed.

Powered by Rolex's proven automatic movement, this timepiece delivers the chronometric precision that made the brand legendary worldwide. The silver dial offers exceptional legibility through perfect contrast with applied hour markers, while the date window provides practical functionality. Despite the bracelet's minor needs, this example shows excellent overall preservation for its 1989 vintage, demonstrating both Rolex's build quality and careful ownership throughout its 35-year lifespan. Water resistance to 100 meters maintains practical durability despite the watch's age.

Vintage Rolex enthusiasts particularly value examples from this transitional period, when manufacturing quality peaked while maintaining traditional aesthetics. Available with original box and papers dated 03-APR-1989, this represents both horological heritage and restoration opportunity. Master Luxury specializes in authentic vintage pieces that offer character and investment potential—this vintage Rolex provides exactly that combination while demonstrating how proper maintenance can preserve quality across decades of faithful service.
