Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 40921584/AS06222

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

So-called “five digit” Datejusts (reference variants with five digits) evolved from the original Oyster Perpetual Datejust line and are a quintessential staple of the Neo-Vintage era.

These models showed up in the late 70s and offer the added functionality of a higher-beat movement for accuracy and a quick-set date mechanism. They retain the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have similar variation for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations. Luminous models also retain Tritium material, offering tremendous opportunities for unique characteristics of patina.

This particular example, a Reference 16234, dates to circa 2002 and features a stainless steel Oyster case with matching solid link Jubilee bracelet, an 18K white gold fluted bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a cream-tone 'Jubilee' dial with applied 'Arabic' indices and matching handset.

These timepieces are incredibly usable for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.
