Why This Watch Matters A stainless steel Datejust with a Jubilee bracelet and a white gold fluted bezel is about as classic as it gets. The original Rolex sticker on the back doesn't hurt either. The Full Story First produced in 1945, the Datejust has become the iconic model by Rolex and you can see why: it’s classic, understated, versatile, and perfect for a man or a woman. Since its introduction over 70 years ago, the Datejust model has been produced in an array of color combinations and styles, continuing to gain appeal across many generations. This Datejust reference 16014 is from a slightly more modern era, but still captures the same essence of the earlier versions with its signature look that shows us exactly why we love this model so much. This reference has a quick-set date which is always appreciated and coupled with the acrylic crystal, it's a good blend of vintage styling with a more modern movement development. With its silver dial, white-gold fluted bezel, and an attractive patina on the lume, this watch will remain relevant for many decades to come. Condition here is stunning, frankly, with the original green Rolex caseback sticker intact, an unpolished case, and a slightly creamy patina to the silver dial – everything we are looking for in a classic Datejust.
