ROLEX Datejust 18K White Gold Steel, 36mm, Calibre 3035 automatic, chronometer Automatic, 16030

The Rolex Datejust 16030 pairs a silver dial with a 36mm stainless-steel Oyster case, complemented on this example by an 18K white-gold bezel and stainless-steel Jubilee bracelet. Its balanced proportions and understated presentation reflect the Datejust’s versatility, moving comfortably between formal occasions and everyday wear. The silver dial brings a restrained elegance, while the Jubilee bracelet adds texture and a refined finish.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3035, a self-winding, chronometer-certified movement that introduced quickset date adjustment to this generation of Datejust. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a smooth seconds-hand sweep and allows the date to be adjusted independently of the time. This practical development combines vintage Rolex character with convenient everyday operation.
