Datejust 36mm Fluted Bezel Steel
Model #16220 Box:No Paper:No Year:1989The 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 silver 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 Jubilee bracelet shows some looseness consistent with its three-decade age, this is entirely normal for vintage examples and speaks to the watch's authentic character and regular wear throughout its lifetime.
This vintage steel Rolex Datejust from 1989 represents exceptional value for collectors who appreciate classical design with proven durability. With original box and papers dated 04-OCT-1989, this reference combines timeless aesthetics with the honest patina that only comes from decades of genuine enjoyment. Master Luxury believes these vintage steel Datejust models offer some of the best value in today's market—providing authentic Rolex quality and design at a significantly more accessible price point than current production. For collectors seeking a versatile timepiece with genuine heritage and everyday wearability, this silver dial configuration delivers sophisticated elegance that has remained stylistically relevant for over three decades.
