ROLEX DATEJUST – Ref. 16014 – Stainless Steel – Fluted Bezel – Silver Tritium Dial – Jubilee Bracelet – Papers 1978

We are pleased to offer this very good Rolex Datejust Ref. 16014, a timeless and highly collectible vintage reference that perfectly embodies Rolex’s signature blend of elegance, functionality, and enduring quality.

Produced in 1978, this Datejust represents a golden era of Rolex watchmaking, where classic design, mechanical reliability, and understated luxury came together in perfect harmony.

Crafted in stainless steel, the 36 mm Oyster case features the iconic proportions that have defined the Datejust as one of Rolex’s most versatile and enduring models. The elegant fluted bezel adds unmistakable character and refinement, catching the light beautifully and elevating the watch from a daily companion to a true dress classic.

The watch features an original silver dial with tritium luminous hour plots, complemented by matching tritium hands. Over time, the tritium has aged naturally, developing a subtle and attractive vintage patina that enhances the authenticity and charm collectors value so highly. Applied hour markers and clean typography ensure excellent legibility while maintaining the Datejust’s timeless aesthetic.

Powering this reference is the renowned Rolex Caliber 3035, an in-house automatic chronometer movement featuring a quickset date function. Celebrated for its precision, robustness, and longevity, this movement marked a significant technical advancement within the Datejust lineage and remains highly respected among collectors today.

The watch is fitted with the classic Jubilee bracelet, offering exceptional comfort on the wrist while perfectly complementing the refined design of the Datejust.

The watch is accompanied by its original papers, Chronometer hang tag, Rolex Oyster Booklet, and Rolex Datejust Booklet.
