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. 16014 from 1985 would make a great start for a new vintage collector or be a great addition to an expanding collection.
This specific 1985 Datejust Ref. 16014 is classic and clean. The stick markers, accompanied by its original white gold fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet would make a great daily driver that would find itself suitable for almost any setting casual to formal. This 1985 Rolex DateJust ref 16014 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!
