Alex's Comments: The Datejust is the perfect everyday vintage Rolex. It is very popular and loved by both the seasoned collector and the first-time vintage Rolex buyer for good reason, being fantastic value and also versatile for all occasions and outfits. This particular Datejust features a rare, original blue dial which is rather well-preserved, and you don't see these from this period particularly often. The Tritium luminous has also aged to an attractive warm tone. This 16030 reference benefits from the quick-set date function and the solid-link Jubilee bracelet, making this a very usable and wearable vintage Rolex. Overall, a lovely vintage Datejust with a rare, attractive dial!
