An attractive and increasingly collectible Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 16234 in stainless steel with 18k white gold fluted bezel, featuring a rare dark blue Jubilee dial with Arabic numeral, fitted with a Jubilee bracelet and accompanied by original papers, produced circa 1996.

We are pleased to present this distinctive Rolex Vintage Datejust Ref. 16234, a reference celebrated for its versatility and timeless design. Crafted in stainless steel and accented by an 18k white gold fluted bezel, this watch offers a refined yet sporty presence on the wrist.

Produced circa 1996, this example is distinguished by its structured dark blue Jubilee dial with Arabic numerals, a configuration far less commonly encountered than standard baton or Roman numeral dials.

The classic 36 mm Oyster case retains elegant proportions and is paired with the iconic Jubilee bracelet, enhancing both comfort and visual balance. The fluted white gold bezel adds a subtle touch of luxury, catching the light while preserving the Datejust’s understated aesthetic.

Powering the watch is the Rolex automatic calibre 3135, renowned for its robustness, precision, and ease of service — one of the most respected movements in modern Rolex history.

This example is accompanied by its original papers, further supporting its authenticity and collectability.

"A rare dial configuration, enduring design, and everyday versatility, this Rolex Datejust 36 with dark blue Arabic dial represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a distinctive and highly wearable vintage Rolex from the mid-1990s!"
