Lovely vintage set! 36mm stainless steel Rolex Datejust model 16030 with bright white / baton dial on Jubilee 62510 bracelet. Comes with its Rolex 16030-stickered box set, UK papers from John Pass Jewellers in Crewe dated June 1986 in plastic pouch (with corresponding, numbered sticker) and a Rolex UK service slip dated July 2001. The watch is in very pleasing condition and appears to have had a new bracelet fitted, perhaps at the time of that Rolex service. Unusually, this watch has been fitted with a synthetic sapphire glass that is not by Rolex, to update the older and more easily marked acrylic glass. We don’t as a rule approve of such work, but this appears to have been very well executed, it modernises the watch and tests well for water-resistance (as always, provided the crown is screwed down). This model correctly has the 3035 calibre version of the “quick-set” facility for changing the date at the end of a short month, where the user turns the crown backwards in its mid-position to advance the date. Our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul will be delighted to demonstrate. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £6,250 !
