The Rolex Datejust has long been the benchmark for timeless design and everyday versatility, and this Ref. 16220 is no exception. Produced in 2002 and sold in Sydney in 2003, this Datejust pairs a classic silver dial with the understated charm of the engine-turned bezel, giving it a more sporty and versatile look compared to the fluted alternative.
At the heart of the watch is the reliable automatic Calibre 3135, one of Rolex’s most celebrated movements, known for its robustness, precision, and long-term serviceability. The 36mm stainless steel case and Oyster 78360 bracelet make this Datejust a watch that transitions seamlessly between formal occasions and everyday wear.
This example is offered with an excellent level of provenance, coming complete with its green Rolex inner box, original warranty papers (Sydney 2003), calendar card, translation booklet, swing tags, spare links, and service history from Rolex Sydney in 2007.
