Rolex Datejust

So-called “five digit” Datejusts (reference variants with five digits) evolved from the original Oyster Perpetual Datejust line and are a quintessential staple of the Neo-Vintage era. These models showed up in the late 70s and offer the added functionality of a higher-beat movement for accuracy and a quick-set date mechanism. They retain the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have similar variation for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations. This particular example, a Reference 16014, dates to circa 1983, features a stainless steel Oyster case with matching solid link Jubilee bracelet, an 18K white gold fluted bezel, and a later glossy black dial with applied Roman indices with a matching handset. These timepieces are incredibly versatile for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.
