This striking Rolex Datejust Ref. 16030 stands out with its uncommon black metallic dial. A rare and captivating variation that plays beautifully with the light. Produced in the early 1980s, it features all the hallmarks of the classic 16030: a 36 mm stainless steel Oyster case, engine-turned bezel, quickset date, and the robust automatic movement 3035. The lume plots have aged perfectly, showing a warm, even patina that matches the tone of the original hands. Fitted with a 62510H Jubilee bracelet and a “G”-stamped clasp (1982), this configuration is period-correct for a Datejust produced around 1984, when Rolex commonly used pre-produced bracelet parts in later assemblies.
