A refined classic with unmistakable presence, the Rolex Datejust reference 16018 represents the perfect intersection of elegance, everyday utility, and vintage prestige.

Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, this 36mm Datejust features a sharp fluted bezel and comes fitted on the highly appreciated President bracelet, giving the watch a distinctive sense of weight and sophistication. The real standout, however, is the sunburst blue dial—a rare and striking configuration that plays beautifully with light, offering rich contrast against the warm gold case.

The dial features applied yellow gold hour markers with tritium lume plots and matching gold hands, all developing a subtle, even patina. Powered by the caliber 3035—Rolex’s first high-beat movement with a quickset date—the 16018 blends mechanical reliability with practical functionality.

Produced in 1988, this piece offers all the timeless appeal of the classic Datejust design, enhanced by the prestige of solid gold and a rare dial configuration. Whether worn daily or as part of a curated collection, it remains an enduring statement of taste.

Complete with a clean case profile, tight bracelet, and an undeniable wrist presence, this Datejust is more than a vintage watch—it’s a testament to Rolex’s golden era of design.
