Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 'Onyx' 40921477/AS06039

WHY WE LOVE IT

Precious metal Datejusts with factory stone dials are truly special pieces. Built in very small numbers so as not to compete with its "Big Brother" Day-Date, solid gold Datejusts have been around since they were introduced in 1945, but are very scarce on the market today. We jump whenever we find a clean one - but finding one with a special factory dial such as this outstanding black Onyx stone example makes for a particularly good day! This watch, a Reference 16238, dates to circa 1990 and features a dial that is nothing short of breathtaking in its austerity. The depths of its solid Onyx stone dial are mesmerizing, and the combination of fluted bezel and hidden-clasp Jubilee bracelet makes it a truly impressive specimen worthy of top-tier collections. Featuring a strong case, magnified sapphire crystal, and quickset movement, this is a truly rare piece that doesn't come around all that often - and something that we love to get some time with! When only a gold Rolex will do, this Datejust is it just with a bit of added flair! OVERALL CONDITION The case is in excellent condition overall showing normal signs of wear consistent with age and use. Non-luminous 'Onyx' stone dial with factory applied yellow gold and diamond 6 and 9 indices with framed date window is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. Signed crown.
