Classic, elegant, and beautifully distinctive, this Rolex Datejust 16234 is a 36mm stainless steel example dating to 1988. Featuring a striking factory blue sunburst dial with Roman numeral markers, this piece offers the timeless appeal of the Datejust with a refined pop of colour.

The watch is further enhanced by a custom aftermarket diamond-set bezel, crafted in 9ct white gold and set with natural diamonds. This gives the piece a more jewellery-led finish while retaining the classic Rolex Datejust silhouette.

The stainless steel case is paired with a polished and brushed Jubilee bracelet with folding clasp, creating a versatile and instantly recognisable Rolex look.
