Description

The Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 to celebrate Rolex’s 40th anniversary and became the world’s first automatic chronometer wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date display on the dial. While many other iconic Rolex models were developed for specific professional purposes — such as the Submariner for diving or the GMT-Master for aviation — the Datejust was conceived as the ultimate everyday wristwatch: elegant, reliable, and versatile enough for any occasion. In 1977, Rolex introduced the practical “Quickset” function, allowing the date to be adjusted independently through the crown without the need to rotate the hands through repeated 24-hour cycles — a significant improvement in daily usability. Presented here is the less commonly seen reference 16000. This particular reference is distinguished by its smooth bezel, giving the watch a slightly sportier and more understated appearance compared to the classic fluted versions. As a five-digit reference, it also benefits from the updated quickset movement. The classic 36 mm Oyster case remains in lovely condition, complemented by a beautifully preserved smooth bezel. One of the true highlights of this watch, however, is its uncommon taupe-coloured dial, which gives the watch a wonderfully warm and subtle character that changes beautifully depending on the light. The dial further features elegant stick hour markers, crisp white printed text, and softly aged yellow-toned lume plots that enhance the overall warmth and vintage appeal of the watch. The watch is fitted with a Rolex Oyster bracelet, reference 78360, complete with end links stamped 558 and a clasp code “VD,” perfectly complementing the clean and sporty aesthetic of this charming Datejust. Furthermore, this fine Datejust is accompanied by its original plastic document holder, a Rolex booklet, and its original papers showing the watch was sold by authorised Rolex retailer Bucherer in 1980.This sportier Datejsut and its quick setting movement have been fully serviced by our watch maker. One of those Datejusts that simply feels right the moment it reaches the wrist! We always strive to keep a selection of uncommon Datejusts in stock, so please get in touch — we would love to help you find the right one.

Let’s find that watch you like

New / unworn
The watch has not been worn and is in new condition. It may come directly from an authorised dealer or the brand itself, or it may have been recently traded without being worn.
Pre-owned
The watch has previously been traded and may show light to visible signs of wear, depending on the stated condition.

The condition is determined by the seller based on visual inspection and functional assessment in accordance with Wristler guidelines.

New
Sourced directly from an authorised dealer or the brand. Unpolished and free from signs of wear. Delivered with full manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty period begins upon registration with the brand and may have already started prior to delivery to the final buyer.
Unworn
Previously traded but never worn. May qualify as New Old Stock (NOS). Free from visible signs of wear. Does not imply anything about remaining manufacturer’s warranty or the presence of factory stickers.
Very good
Minor signs of wear such as hairline marks or small surface scratches. Case, bezel, and bracelet retain sharp edges and overall form. May have been professionally polished without affecting the original contours. Fully functional mechanically.
Good
Visible signs of wear such as scratches, small dents, or light bracelet stretch. May have been professionally polished. Fully functional mechanically.
Fair
Clearly visible signs of wear, including scratches, dents, or noticeable bracelet or clasp wear. Servicing may be recommended in the future. Fully functional unless otherwise stated.

All watches offered on Wristler are fully functional and meet normal expectations for mechanical performance unless explicitly stated otherwise. The seller provides a guarantee on proper mechanical operation.

Water resistance cannot be guaranteed for older watches unless specifically indicated.

If you have any doubts about the condition, carefully review the photos and description. You may contact the seller via chat to request additional photos or video material to better assess the watch before purchase.

Manufacturer's warranty
The manufacturer offers a 5-year international warranty from the warranty activation date, transferable within that period. This date can differ from the year of production, so the remaining warranty depends on this specific watch; see its papers.
