Pre-owned Rolex Datejust 16220 1994 Watch

Pre‑Owned Rolex Datejust 36 — Ref. 16220 (1994)

A true icon of Swiss watchmaking, the Rolex Datejust 36 reference 16220 embodies timeless elegance, everyday versatility, and enduring prestige. Crafted in 1994 and presented here in good pre‑owned condition with original box and papers, this classic model represents one of the purest expressions of the Datejust lineage from Rolex.

Housed in a perfectly balanced 36mm stainless steel case, the watch offers the traditional proportions that have made the Datejust a cornerstone of refined wristwear for decades. The smooth bezel of the 16220 lends a clean, understated aesthetic, making it equally suitable for formal attire and daily wear.

The standout feature is the elegant silver sunburst dial, whose radial brushing catches the light beautifully, shifting from bright silver to subtle champagne tones depending on the angle. Applied steel baton hour markers maintain a minimalist, contemporary look while ensuring excellent legibility.

Protecting the dial is a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, while the signature screw‑down crown contributes to the model’s durability and everyday practicality.

This example is fitted to the iconic stainless steel Jubilee bracelet, renowned for its comfort, flexibility, and distinctive five‑link design. The bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case, reinforcing the watch’s unmistakable Datejust identity.

At its heart beats the celebrated Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement — a COSC‑certified chronometer widely regarded as one of the most reliable and robust movements ever produced. Known for its precision, longevity, and ease of servicing, it remains a benchmark for mechanical watchmaking excellence.
