Rolex - Datejust - Zonder Minimumprijs - 16030 - Unisex - 1980-1989

Dear Bidder
Please note, you are bidding on a customised Rolex watch. By definition, this is a Rolex watch with the addition of customised or aftermarket parts. Customisations can include modifications to the watch case, hands, or bezel (for example the addition of diamonds), or artwork and designs to the watch dial. In the case of watch dials, these can be either customised original dials, or aftermarket manufactured dials. These modifications are common within the luxury watch sector, particularly with Rolex watches. We ask sellers to mention any known modifications in the description. It should be noted that in certain circumstances Rolex could decline servicing or repairs to watches modified without their express permission.




Pre-owned Rolex Datejust ref. 16030 in steel with a fantastic aftermarket blue (similar to Tiffany's color) dial with arab numbers.

In many collector’s eyes, Rolex’s ref. 16XXX family represents the last of the vintage Datejust models, and the all-steel ref. 16030 especially.

By the time the series was released in 1977, the name was already more than 30-years old, having been launched the same year World War II ended. It took over from the four-digit ref. 16XX references—the range that had really finalized the overall design for the Datejust—and took it all the way up to 1988.

The ref. 16030 somehow managed to be understated but include a little touch of flamboyance that set it apart from others in the lineup.

The Datejust ref. 16030 was the direct replacement for the previous ref. 1603, which had been in production since 1959.

As with that watch, the reference number for this new generation was used to describe a piece with a 36mm stainless steel case, topped with a steel, engine turned bezel.
