Name: *Unpolished* 1996 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16220) "Anthracite Dial" W/ Papers
SKU: 433564

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and most beloved Rolex watches ever made, even though the Datejust was launched in 1945 it has remained a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a tee-shirt.

From the exceptional unpolished case accompanied by its crisp stainless steel bezel, and tight jubilee bracelet, this 1996 Datejust ref. 16220 would make a great daily driver that would find itself suitable for almost any setting casual to formal. The Rolex Datejust ref. 16220 is a transitional reference as it features a tritium dial, but the movement is a Rolex cal. 3135 which possesses the "Quick-Set" date function which comes in handy when needing to quickly adjust the date.
