Here we have a rare 1995 Rolex Datejust 36mm White Roman Dial 16234 featuring a 36mm stainless steel Oyster case, the case gently curves over your wrist with tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. Brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp edges. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown, the 18ct White Gold fluted bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above the star of the show, a rare crisp white Tritium dial. An outer minute railtrack surrounds applied Roman numerals to mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a date window with a cyclops magnification on the crystal, and at noon, the applied Rolex coronet and printed underneath “Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust”. At 6 o’clock, “ Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” completes this elegant timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with coin edge detailing, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 3135, 31 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour; this movement was first introduced in 1988.

This watch is sold with its Rolex box and booklet. The watch comes paired with its 21-link Rolex 20mm Jubilee bracelet with a signed folding clasp. The watch is from Circa. 1995 and is in worn condition, but is overall very good for its age, as you can see. A full case and bracelet refurb can be provided at an additional cost. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

I am always amazed at how rarely white Rolex Datejusts come to market; typically, they are silver but not pure white like this lovely 16234 we have here. It also features applied Roman numerals, all cased in 36mm and in incredible condition, especially being 31 year sold. When compared to the prices of modern 36mm Datejusts, I know what I'd rather have. I would not hesitate to snap up this gem and add it to your collection today!

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements, which were installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released it to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. In 1945, they released Datejust. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960 saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
