Rolex Datejust 16030 Steel Jubilee Bracelet

Pre-owned Rolex Datejust ref 16030 (1979) is a fascinating edition of the iconic dress watch because it features the inherently vintage design set many collectors are after, including an older-style case with narrower lugs, an acrylic crystal, and Tritium, which has since aged to a deep patina on this model. It also sports the beloved engine-turned-bezel, a feature that Rolex hasn’t produced for quite some time. Inside the case beats the caliber 3035, the predecessor of caliber 3135. Both models feature convenient Quickset dates and beat at a rate of 28,800 bph, with the main differences in the mechanics of the movement itself. Ref. 16030 will appeal to a broad range of collectors with its attractive all-steel design and approachable price point.
