Description: 

The Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 16018 in Yellow Gold is an enduring symbol of vintage sophistication and timeless craftsmanship. Introduced in the mid-20th century, this classic model features a 36 mm case crafted entirely from 18 ct yellow gold, exuding understated luxury and vintage charm. The hallmark fluted bezel reflects light beautifully, complementing the elegant champagne or silver dial often adorned with applied baton or Roman numeral hour markers.

Its acrylic crystal and Cyclops date magnifier capture the distinct aesthetics of Rolex’s golden era, while the automatic Calibre 1570 movement inside ensures exceptional precision and reliability, even decades later. Paired with a leather band, the 16018 radiates warmth and character — a true classic that embodies Rolex’s legacy of elegance, innovation, and timeless appeal.

This piece presents in excellent pre-owned vintage condition, including the timepiece and original box.
