Why This Watch Matters This Rolex Datejust reference 16030 with a black dial brings extra regality to this classic model. The Full Story No introduction is needed for this Datejust: its appearance says it all. It’s just a great daily wear piece for everyone, especially if you want to set yourself apart from the classic silver dial version. As far as vintage goes, a 36mm case is a universally appealing size, trust us on this one. The gorgeous patina on the full lume plots jumps out against the black dial, and the lume on the handset with the matching color makes this combination that much better. And to top this off, it is fitted with the always comfortable Jubilee bracelet. You are all set!

The case shows some light wear with signs of light polish in the past. The ridges on the engine-turned bezel is still fairly sharp. The black dial is clean, with a very minor spot between 12 and one, visible only under a loupe. The lume plots are full and have gained a beautiful creamy patina. The handset shows some light aging but the creamy lume makes up for it as they match perfectly with the color of the lume plots. The Jubilee bracelet is overall in very good condition with some expected stretch between the links.
