Rolex has long been recognized for producing robust, reliable, and highly refined timepieces that balance technical precision with distinctive design. The brand’s commitment to durability and craftsmanship has made its watches enduring benchmarks in both daily wear and collectible categories.

Paired with a rare factory onyx dial set with diamonds, this model stands out for its refined aesthetic and scarcity. Its combination of precious metal construction, unique dial configuration, and long-term desirability within the collecting community positions it as a standout example of the Datejust line.

Key Details To Consider

Very rare and fully original Rolex Datejust 16018 in yellow gold, presented in excellent to near-new condition. The case features thick, sharply defined lugs and was last polished by Rolex in 2025 as part of a full service, retaining clean, crisp edges. The fluted bezel remains in excellent condition.

The factory onyx dial is in pristine shape, set with two diamonds at 6 and 9 o’clock. These onyx dials are exceptionally scarce and continue to gain strong interest among collectors. The original Jubilee bracelet is very well preserved for its age, showing minimal stretch.

All case numbers are fully visible and intact. With a 9.7 million serial, the watch dates to approximately 1986. The movement was last serviced by Rolex in June 2021, has been recently tested for accuracy, and performs perfectly. It has also passed a pressure test to 3ATM (30m).

Included are the original Rolex service papers.
