1990 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16234) Silver Dial W/ Box & Papers

$ 6,500

The Rolex Datejust stands as one of the most iconic and enduring models in the brand’s history. Introduced in 1945, it has become synonymous with refined design, everyday versatility, and unmistakable Rolex character. Elegant without being formal, robust without sacrificing sophistication, the Datejust remains one of the most universally admired watches for both men and women.

This 1990 Rolex Datejust ref. 16234 embodies that timeless appeal. Its classic silver dial pairs beautifully with the crisp 18K white gold fluted bezel, while the tight Jubilee bracelet adds to the watch’s signature comfort and charm. As a transitional reference, the 16234 retains desirable vintage elements—such as its tritium dial—while incorporating modern upgrades, including a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and the reliable Rolex Cal. 3135 movement with quick-set date functionality.

A perfect blend of tradition and practicality, this ref. 16234 is an exceptional choice for a refined daily wearer.
