Rolex Datejust Ref. 16014

This one takes you back to the eighties! When stocks were soaring and so were the mullets.

While the Rolex Datejust is a timeless classic, some configurations harken back to a specific age. The tapestry dial has an undeniable connection to the eighties.

But rest assured, you will not look like Gordon Gecko with this Rollie on. Unless you pair it with a white collar, striped dress shirt and suspenders, that is! Like any silver-dialed Datejust on jubilee, this watch is supremely flexible with original papers and condition is superb! Dress it down with a T-shirt and jeans or dress it up with your favorite power suit. It will always be at home.

Backstory

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic watch designs ever made. We try not to use the term “iconic” too liberally, but it is surely justified here. Launched back in 1945 as the Ref. 4467, the design has been only marginally updated every now and then. And it has looked fresh and current ever since.

When it comes to vintage, two generations of Datejust are particularly popular; the Ref. 16xx and the later five-digit references. The 16xx models were made from the fifties until  roughly 1978 and feature a beautifully dimensional pie-pan dial. Many of these came on folded jubilee bracelets and they did not yet feature a quickset date.

When the reference was updated to five digits around 1978, the pie-pan dial was replaced by a flat dial. The caliber was updated to now feature a quickset date. A decade later, in 1988, a new update saw the introduction of a sapphire crystal. For us, this is where vintage Datejust becomes modern Datejust.

Countless variations can be found. Different bezels, bracelets, dial colors, sizes and materials. The Datejust is one of the most beloved and versatile watches around. If you are looking for a one-watch-collection, that works equally well with shorts as it does with a three-piece suit, the Datejust is probably a pretty safe bet!
