Rolex Datejust 36mm Onyx Stone Dial - Ref. 16238

For sale is a Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 16238 in Solid 18k Yellow Gold with a Rare Factory Onyx Stone Dial in perfect condition.

The DateJust:
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic watches in the brand's history, and the 16238 in solid 18k gold represents the epitome of classic Rolex luxury.

Onyx Dial:
This example comes fitted with an original Onyx stone dial which is in perfect condition and free from any cracks or chips.

The dial is crafted from deep black onyx, prized for its naturally rich, uniform tone and mirror-like polish. Its surface appears almost liquid, absorbing light to create a striking contrast with the surrounding yellow gold case and bracelet.

Free from traditional hour markers, the uninterrupted expanse of black onyx presents a pure, minimalist canvas that highlights the natural depth and lustre of the stone. The only applied elements are the Arabic numerals at six and nine o’clock, crafted in yellow gold and each set with a single diamond, introducing a subtle point of brilliance while preserving the dial’s understated elegance

The Case:
The 16238 features a classic oyster case crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, providing a warm, timeless look, which has long been associated with luxury and prestige. The case has a 36mm diameter case size which is the classic Datejust size, making it versatile for both men and women. It strikes the perfect balance between elegance and presence, fitting well on a wide range of wrist sizes.

The Bracelet:
The Oyster case is paired with an iconic 18k yellow gold Jubilee bracelet. Fitted with a refined concealed Crownclasp, the bracelet offers a seamless, uninterrupted flow of gold, enhancing the watch’s elegance while preserving the Jubilee’s timeless character and nod to Rolex’s heritage of understated sophistication.

The Movement:
The Rolex Datejust 16238 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, one of the most renowned and reliable movements Rolex has ever produced. The 3135 is an automatic movement known for its precision and longevity.

It features a quickset date function, allowing the wearer to adjust the date easily without having to advance the time through multiple rotations of the hands.

The Crystal:
The watch features a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches, ensuring the dial stays pristine over time. It also has the iconic Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock, magnifying the date for easy reading.
