Rolex Vintage Datejust 36mm , 16030

We are proud to present this stylish Rolex Datejust 36, reference 16030, for sale in fine condition for its age and fully checked in our workshop.

Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust remains one of the most important and enduring designs in watchmaking. As the first self-winding wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date display, it set a new standard for everyday practicality while retaining the elegance and versatility that have defined the model ever since. Decades later, the Datejust continues to stand as one of Rolex’s most recognisable and timeless creations.

This vintage example, reference 16030, is housed in the classic 36mm stainless steel Oyster case and fitted with the distinctive engine-turned bezel, a hallmark of this particular generation that gives the watch its unmistakable character. The watch features a silver dial with applied baton hour markers, matching hands, and the iconic date display at 3 o’clock beneath the classic Cyclops magnifier. The dial is protected by an acrylic plexi crystal, preserving the warm vintage appeal that collectors continue to appreciate.

Powering the watch is the reliable Rolex calibre 3035 automatic movement, a chronometer-rated calibre celebrated for its robustness and quickset date function. Completing the watch is the classic stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with folding clasp, giving the piece the refined and versatile profile that has made the Datejust such a lasting icon.

Originally purchased in October 1986, this watch is offered in fine condition for its age and comes supplied with its Rolex inner and outer boxes, original purchase receipt, green leather card holder, and two booklets, it does not include the original warranty papers.

Upon purchase, the bracelet can be professionally adjusted to the buyer’s wrist size prior to shipping as part of our service.
