Rolex Datejust ref 16018 18K YG Black Tritium Dial circa 1981

An exceptional condition example Rolex 18K gold Datejust ref# 16018 circa 1981 with a stunning black original tritium lume dial. This is the scarce man’s 36mm diameter gold Datejust model with fluted bezel, sapphire crystal, with a dramatic original black dial. The dial is a rich gloss black color, with no fading or aging and with original fully intact lightly aged tritium lume plots.

Featuring a super sharp condition case with substantial and beefy lugs and an ultra sharp fluted bezel. Powered by self winding caliber 3035 movement with quick set date and sweep seconds. Shown with a black exotic skin strap, or with your choice of fine leather or exotic skin strap.

This is a great looking solid gold full size man’s model of the era which offers a very sporty and upscale look for a man or oversized for a woman. Recently fully serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

NOTE: the 16018 gold Datejust is a bit of an anomaly among Datejusts of the era, as it is only the all gold model that came fitted with a sapphire crystal, The stainless steel 16000 and the 2 tone 16013 models of this era were fitted with the same quick set movement, but came with acrylic crystals, rather than the sapphire crystal supplied with the 16018.

Your purchase includes our signature fine leather watch pouch, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 value.
