*Unpolished* 1990 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16220) Grey Dial W/ Box & Papers

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. This ref. 16220 Datejust from 1990 would make a great start for a new vintage collector or be a great addition to an expanding collection.

From the unpolished case, accompanied by its original stainless steel bezel and jubilee bracelet this 1990 Datejust Ref. 16220 would make a great daily driver that would find itself suitable for almost any setting casual to formal. The Rolex Datejust ref. 16220 is a transitional reference as it features a tritium dial, but features numerous upgrades such as a sapphire crystal and the Rolex Cal. 3135 movement which features a quick-set date function.
