The Rolex Datejust Ref. 16220 represents one of the most balanced and discreet executions of the Datejust concept. Produced in the early 2000s, it combines the robustness of stainless steel with refined, almost understated elegance—far from modern excess, firmly rooted in classic Rolex proportions.
This example dates to 2004 (F-series) and comes as a true full set, from a single original owner, an increasingly rare combination on the market today. The case has never been polished: factory lines are intact, lugs are sharp, and the watch retains the crisp geometry collectors look for but seldom find.
The blue sunburst dial is the star here. Deep, vibrant, and alive under light, it is fitted with applied Roman numerals, adding character without sacrificing legibility. It’s a configuration that feels both formal and confident—less common, more intentional. Dial condition is flawless, with no oxidation or degradation.
The watch is fitted with its original Jubilee steel band, tight and correct, perfectly matching the elegance of the piece. The watch comes full set and in great conditions.
