The Rolex Datejust is one of those watches that needs very little introduction. Introduced in 1945, it became one of Rolex’s defining models, combining the Oyster case, self-winding Perpetual movement and practical date display in a design that has remained remarkably timeless.

Here we have a beautiful all-gold ref. 16018, featuring the classic 36 mm Datejust case in 18k yellow gold. The case is strong and well defined, complemented by the iconic fluted bezel in matching gold.

The real star of the show, however, is the fantastic white Buckley dial. The crisp white background gives the watch a wonderfully fresh appearance, while the painted Roman numerals add that unmistakable Buckley character. A particularly cool dial, and one that completely changes the personality of the classic Datejust.

The watch is fitted with a lovely Bulang & Sons leather strap and its original 18k yellow-gold Rolex pin buckle, keeping the all-gold configuration nicely complete. The quick-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

With its strong case, beautiful fluted bezel and that superb white Buckley dial, this is a very charming example of the ref. 16018. Classic Rolex, but with just enough character to make it stand out from the crowd.

We always have a good selection of Datejusts, so get in touch and we’ll help you find your dream example!
