Rolex Datejust Stainless-Steel Ref. 16220 Blue Dial

This Rolex DateJust reference 16220, dating from circa 1999, is an excellent example of one of the most popular five-digit DateJust models. Presented in a 36mm stainless steel Oyster case, it features the now-discontinued engine-turned bezel, a detail that gives the watch a distinctive character and sets it apart from later generations of the DateJust.

The striking blue sunburst dial catches the light beautifully, creating varying shades of blue across its surface. Applied baton hour markers and the classic date display at three o'clock maintain the clean, timeless design for which the DateJust is renowned. A screw-down Rolex crown ensures the robustness and practicality that have long been synonymous with the Oyster collection.

At its heart is the celebrated Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, widely regarded as one of Rolex's finest and most reliable in-house calibres. The watch is fitted to its original stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with folding deployment clasp, offering exceptional comfort and unmistakable Rolex styling.

Adding further confidence for its next owner, the watch underwent a complete overhaul by Rolex UK in July 2026 and is accompanied by an international Rolex service guarantee valid until August 2028. It is supplied with its Rolex service case, outer box, Rolex service guarantee card, NFC-enabled service card, and Rolex service tag.

Combining the proven Calibre 3135 movement, the sought-after engine-turned bezel, and a striking blue sunburst dial, this is a highly desirable example of the Rolex Datejust 16220 that is equally suited to everyday wear or a growing collection.
