Pre-owned Rolex Datejust 36 ref. 16220 (1989) is a classic steel Datejust with a remarkable bezel. At its core, it has everything collectors have come to appreciate about the Datejust. A versatile 36mm Oyster case, an automatic movement, and the timeless design that has made the collection a Rolex staple since 1945. It’s the kind of watch that can easily transition from everyday wear to more formal occasions without missing a beat. What makes the ref. 16220, especially interesting is the engine-turned bezel. Produced by machining a series of decorative grooves into the steel bezel, the pattern creates a distinctive design that falls between a smooth and a traditional fluted bezel. It adds texture and character to the watch without the added cost of precious metal, which is one reason collectors have grown increasingly fond of these references since Rolex discontinued engine-turned bezels altogether.
