Rolex Blue Mosaic Datejust Reference 1600 Unpolished

Have you ever wondered what a Rolex Explorer reference 1016 would looked like with a blue dial? Here is your chance (but instead with a date added and with applied hour markers instead of 3, 6, and 9 luminous numerals)! It is a beautiful fiction, but a dream watch nonetheless.

This Rolex Datejust reference 1600 is a spectacular watch with at the incredible blue mosaic (or shantung) dial. The dial was added later. The watch comes with its original non-luminous silver dial and handset. The case appears to be unpolished and the watch dates to circa 1971-1972 with a 2.88M serial number. The watch measures 36mm in diameter. It is pared on a Rolex folded Oyster 7836 bracelet with 358 end links produced in 1972 which is period correct. It is one of the most attractive Datejusts out there. You never find unpolished reference 1600s, so this is a very exciting watch to wear and enjoy.

It does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.

PRICE: $19,000 (Item SBUXYT3724)
