Pre-Owned Rolex 36mm Datejust, Silver Dial, Jubilee Bracelet, Ref. 16014
Every men’s Rolex Datejust is accompanied by the now-famous automatically changing date aperture, which appears at the 3-hour marker along under a magnifying Cyclops lens. The first of its kind when it came to market in 1945, the jump date is now a staple on most Rolex watches and advances the date at the stroke of midnight. This 1980 model also features an 18k white gold fluted bezel with Rolex’s signature jubilee bracelet that is still tight with practically no stretch. The excellent condition case has sharply defined edges, with a nearly imperceptible nick on the upper left lug. The lugs are drilled to ease changing the bracelet, if desired. Rolex Datejust models offer a greater opportunity for choosing different features that match a wearer’s personal preferences, as compared to other Rolex models. This watch includes a silver linen dial, which is in excellent condition and makes this a striking Datejust, particularly when combined with this jubilee bracelet. While the vintage lume fades quickly, (as expected for original tritium lume), it is intact at the end of the hour markers. Covering the dial, is an acrylic crystal. Taken together, this is a lovely Datejust in great condition that should please its new owner for years to come.

Rolex is recognized throughout the world not only as a brand associated with luxury, but as a watch that is both luxurious and precise. For Rolex, this hard-won and well-deserved recognition was never in doubt. The founder, Hans Wilsdorf named the company Rolex to be pronounceable in any language, as he anticipated the acclaim his company would receive due to relentless pursuit of precision and accuracy in a wristwatch. Soon after its founding, Rolex produced the first wristwatch to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, which was followed rapidly by receipt of a certificate of precision from the Kew Observatory in Great Britain. From those roots Rolex built a legacy of innovation. The Oyster watch was the first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch in 1926, followed by the first self-winding Perpetual rotor. Building once again on innovation, the Datejust became the first self-winding wrist chronometer to include a date in a window on the dial. Adventurous women and men who strive to make history have chosen Rolex for their expedition, which both perpetuates the brand’s claim to precision and dependability as well as attests to its veracity. Hans Wilsdorf may have anticipated the acclaim Rolex would someday achieve, but even he might have been impressed with its success.
