Rolex 16030 Datejust SS Silver Dial Circa. 1983

The Rolex Datejust reference 16030 is a quintessential expression of vintage Rolex refinement, introduced in 1977 and produced through the late 1980s. This stainless steel Datejust features the celebrated quick‑set date movement, the in‑house caliber 3035, which marked a significant technical leap for the line by allowing rapid date adjustment. The 36 mm Oyster case is paired with the signature engine‑turned (fluted) bezel and a Jubilee bracelet, offering both elegance and comfort. The silver dial adds a timeless, versatile aesthetic that has aged gracefully, often sought after by collectors for its understated charm. The movement’s COSC‑certified chronometer performance and the robust Oyster case construction underscore its reliability and enduring appeal. With dimensions of approximately 36 mm diameter, 44 mm lug‑to‑lug, and 11 mm thickness, it wears with classic proportions. Water resistance to 100 m ensures practical durability, while the quick‑set date function elevates daily usability. The 16030 represents a pivotal moment in Datejust evolution, combining technical innovation with Rolex’s heritage design language, making it a highly regarded piece among seasoned collectors. Excellent Condition with Rolex CPO box and card dated 2025.
