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.
The Rolex Datejust ref. 16234 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.
This one-of-a-kind Rolex Datejust ref. 16234 with a tropical blue dial is poised to be a conversation starter and features an array of subtle yet extremely attractive color tones. Not to mention the case is extremely well preserved as well. Whether this is the first piece for a budding collector or an addition to a vast collection, it's guaranteed to be cherished by its next owner.

CASE & BRACELET
The thick and crisp case is believed to have never been polished but features a subtle "sleeve polish" from wear and retains strong factory finishing throughout with light signs of honest use. The 18K white gold fluted bezel is unpolished with crisp factory edges and minimal signs of previous use. The case back retains its factory finishing and shows gentle wear from use. The original Rolex 62510H Jubilee bracelet with 555B end pieces retains 19 links that show light stretch and will fit up to a 7 1/2-inch wrist.
DIAL & HANDS
This incredible and unique metallic blue dial features a genuinely beautiful tropical patina. The blue of the dial has changed to borderline violet in color with an abstract, but even, explosion of grey-toned patina throughout. The dial itself exhibits no actual damage whatsoever. The tritium lume plots are a handsome bright ivory color that contrasts nicely with the dial, under U.V. light inspection some of the lume plots show very subtle degradation and all remain intact. The original tritium hands match the ivory tone of the dial lume nicely and feature no degradation when inspected under U.V. light.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
