Datejust 36mm Fluted Bezel Steel

The Rolex Datejust 16220 embodies timeless elegance through its classical proportions and refined details. This sophisticated 36mm stainless steel timepiece features the distinctive engine-turned fluted bezel that adds dimensional interest without the premium of precious metals. The pristine white dial provides perfect contrast for excellent legibility, while maintaining the restrained sophistication that has made the Datejust collection an enduring classic for generations of discerning collectors.

Powered by caliber 3135, this refined dress watch delivers exceptional chronometric performance with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The date function at 3 o'clock with iconic cyclops magnifier represents the practical innovation that gave the Datejust its name. Our team notes that while the Oyster bracelet shows some looseness consistent with its age, this is entirely normal for vintage examples and speaks to the watch's authentic character and regular wear throughout its lifetime.
