Rolex Datejust 16030

Having a date indicator on a watch is taken for granted these days, but before 1945, the concept didn't exist at all—until Rolex added a simple, yet game-changing element to their famous Oyster watch: the date window. This small aperture changed the role of wristwatches from mere timekeeping devices to calendars as well. Reference 16030 provides a snapshot from the Datejust's journey between its release and the modern day. Its classic elegance and minimalist beauty make this model a true watchmaking icon. Not only does it present an excellent entry to Rolex ownership, but it also features details that make it a truly rewarding watch to own in its own right.

This Rolex Datejust 16030 has a White Baton dial and a Bracelet strap. Due to age, this Rolex may not fall within our typical expected tolerances for timekeeping, and is no longer suitable for use in wet environments or submersion in water. In the interests of preserving original features, utmost care has been taken to sympathetically restore this watch. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. One of our skilled polishing technicians has removed marks on the case and bracelet of this watch, brought about by daily wear and tear, which is why this watch does not come with the remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
