Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust with Diamond Dial
This is a luxury Swiss-made Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wristwatch, likely a vintage model such as the reference 16234 or similar. The timepiece features a stainless steel Oyster case measuring approximately 36mm, paired with a five-link Jubilee bracelet. A defining characteristic is the 18k white gold fluted bezel that secures a sapphire crystal with the signature 'Cyclops' magnification lens over the date window at the 3 o'clock position. The silver sunburst dial is adorned with small circular-set diamond hour markers in white gold settings, replacing standard batons. The dial text includes the Rolex coronet, 'ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST', and the chronometer certification. The watch appears to be in used condition with visible surface scratches on the polished lugs and bracelet links, indicating regular wear. The Jubilee bracelet shows some signs of 'stretch' or slack between links, common in older models. While the movement is not visible, it would house a high-precision automatic mechanical caliber. This style represents a classic neo-vintage era of Rolex production, typically dating from the late 1980s to the early 2000s.
