Rolex Datejust 1604 "Buckley" 36mm – Stainless Steel
Description
The Rolex Datejust 1604 "Buckley" stands out among vintage Datejust references for its distinctive printed Roman numeral dial—flat, painted markers that create a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic than applied indices. This dial style, known to collectors as the "Buckley," pairs beautifully with matching handset and often develops warm patina that enhances its vintage character.
The 36mm Oystersteel case features a fluted bezel that adds subtle texture without overpowering the dial's elegant simplicity. Acrylic crystal covers the face, while Calibre 3035 provides 50-hour power reserve and reliable automatic timekeeping—proven performance from Rolex's renowned In-house movements
This example presents in excellent vintage condition with its original box included. The 1604 Buckley delivers mid-century styling, heritage appeal, and a dial design that sets it apart from the broader Datejust family—refined wearability with distinctive character.
