Vintage Rolex Datejust 16220 Ivory Dial sold on watchPool24

Description ▲

This Rolex Datejust 16220 dates from 1991 and features a rare ivory dial. The watch is preserved in mint condition and it is accompanied by the original accessories.

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most famous watches in the world. This is not only due to its long and successful history, but also to the perfect mix of mechanical excellence and attractive design.

Here we offer a 1992 version of the iconic classic with a rare ivory dial. Originally the dial had a white surface, but over the years it developed a breathtaking patina and today it shows a creamy ivory color. This gives the watch a very lively and attractive look. The applied Roman numerals contribute to the elegance of the watch. The Cyclops loupe above the date window at 3 o'clock creates the classic Datejust look. The Datejust is powered by the automatic caliber 3135, which is of course certified as an official chronometer. This movement is one of the best and most reliable automatic movements ever.

This Datejust becomes a special and extremely valuable collector's watch due to its mint condition and the available accessories. In vintage jargon, the watch would be called "Safequeen". The sticker on the case back proves that the watch is almost unworn. The unpolished Oyster case has razor-sharp lugs and no scratches. The oyster bracelet, the clasp of which still offers resistance when you try to fold it, provides evidence that it has rarely been worn.

This Rolex Datejust is accompanied by the original chronometer guarantee with punched serial number and country code 150 (Spain). The watch was sold in Bilbao on February 10, 1992. There are also original brochures, Rolex guarantee translation and the green leather card holder.

With the purchase of this Rolex Datejust 16220 you not only get an iconic classic, but also an extremely valuable and rare collector's watch.
