Why This Watch Matters Because not all Datejusts are created equal, especially when they have a slick black dial and a white-gold bezel. The Full Story The Rolex Datejust is the quintessential daily watch. It looks good, it’s well made, and it’s timeless. The Datejust can be found in a variety of finishes and metals, and it would be impossible not to find one that suits your specific tastes. The reference 16014 we have here is one of the nicest Datejust examples we've seen in a while; the overall condition is astounding, from the crisp case to the intact white-gold fluted bezel. The glossy black dial is beguiling and well in demand. And of course, it comes with the iconic Jubilee bracelet; here it is slightly earlier, and has maintained its original shape. If you are looking for a near-perfect Datejust, this is it.

The tritium on the lume plots and handset has aged very well; the lume adds another level of contrast to the black dial and the white lettering and minute track. The white-gold bezel is remarkably sharp and well preserved, and the glossy black dial shows no traces or marks.
