The Rolex Datejust 16220 is one of the most distinctive references within the Datejust family, combining classic Rolex elegance with subtle design details that set it apart from its counterparts. This particular example features a striking black gloss dial, creating a beautiful contrast against the stainless steel case and the characteristic engine-turned bezel. The glossy finish adds depth and sophistication, while the applied hour markers and polished hands enhance legibility and reflect light beautifully from every angle. The engine-turned bezel is a defining feature of the reference 16220. Produced for a relatively limited period, it offers a sportier and more understated alternative to the traditional fluted bezel while retaining the unmistakable character of the Datejust collection. With its perfectly proportioned 36mm Oyster case, sapphire crystal, and automatic Rolex Caliber 3135 movement, the 16220 delivers the ideal balance between vintage charm and modern reliability. The Caliber 3135 is widely regarded as one of Rolex's finest movements, renowned for its precision, durability, and ease of maintenance. Serial number K387521 dates this watch to the early 2000s, representing one of the final generations of five-digit Datejust references before Rolex introduced the six-digit models. As a result, the 16220 is increasingly appreciated by collectors for preserving the classic Datejust proportions while benefiting from modern Rolex engineering.
