Our Perspective:

The Datejust is one of those watches Rolex never really had to reinvent since the 40s, and for good reason. The Ref. 16014 is the 36mm model, and it lands right in that sweet spot- balanced and easy to wear every day. The stainless steel case is paired with a white gold fluted bezel and a silver dial with applied stick numerals, keeping it clean and classic. The wide boy dial and hands lume has developed a beautiful "pumpkin" orange patina that is impossible to replicate. The Jubilee bracelet ties it all together the way a Datejust should- comfortable, flexible, and instantly recognizable.
This specific one dates to 1999 and is in sharp condition, the kind you don’t come across often anymore, especially this clean across the case, bezel, and bracelet. It also comes with its original box and papers along with many other accessories from Rolex Japan.
