Pre-Owned Rolex Datejust 40920445/AS04570

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 16220, dates to circa 1995 and features gorgeous glossy black Tritium dial with applied baton indices and a matching handset, an engined-turned bezel, and a matching solid link Jubilee bracelet.

Furthermore, this piece comes complete with all its goodies!

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

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in excellent condition overall showing light signs of wear from gentle use. Gloss black Tritium dial with applied ‘baton’ indices is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. Signed crown.
