1985 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16014) Silver Dial

$ 4,850

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made. This classic dress watch has been produced by the Swiss luxury watchmaker since 1945 and has remained a timeless classic that is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust was designed for everyday wear, and its sleek and elegant design makes it one of the most universally loved watches for both men and women.

One of the largest evolutions for the Rolex Datejust model lineup was at the end of the 1970s with the introduction of the first "flat dial" Datejust. These models introduced upgraded bracelets, and the movement was vastly upgraded to the Rolex cal. 3035 quick-set movement. These Datejust variations are often referred to as being transitional, as they still feature the more classic acrylic crystals and tritium lume, whilst housing many advancements.

DIAL & HANDS

The original silver sunburst dial is in exceptional, virtually flawless condition, showing no age or damage. The tritium lume plots have taken on a charming creamy patina, and under UV light inspection, only the 3 o'clock plot displays very minor degradation, with the rest of the plots remaining fully intact. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation present under UV light inspection. The white date wheel is original with open 6's and 9's. 

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
