1989 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16220) Black Dial
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made. This classic dress watch has been produced by the Swiss luxury watchmaker since 1945 and has remained a timeless classic that is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust was designed for everyday wear, and its sleek and elegant design makes it one of the most universally loved watches for both men and women.
The Rolex Datejust ref. 16220 is a transitional reference as it features a tritium dial, but the movement is a Rolex cal. 3135 which possesses the "Quick-Set" date function which comes in handy when needing to quickly adjust the date.
