1982 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16030) Blue "Tropical" Dial

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and most beloved Rolex watches ever made, even though the Datejust was launched in 1945 it has remained a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a tee-shirt. This specific ref. 16030 from 1981 would make a great start for a new vintage collector or be a great addition to an expanding collection.  

This specific 1982 Datejust Ref. 16030 has an eye-catching dial that has gone "Tropical". The stick markers, accompanied by its original engine turned bezel paired with a vintage style leather strap would make a great daily driver that would find itself suitable for almost any setting casual to formal. This 1982 Rolex DateJust ref 16030 is a somewhat traditional piece due to the fact that the crystal is acrylic yet the movement is a Rolex cal. 3035  which possesses the "Quick Set" date function which comes in handy when needing to quickly adjust the date!
