Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 16014 – Salmon Pink Dial with Roman Numerals

This Rolex Datejust 36 dates from around 1985 and combines a steel case with a bezel in 18ct white gold. The salmon-coloured dial with Roman numerals gives it a understated, warm character. The crystal is the original acrylic crystal.

Dial, Case and Movement

The Salmon Pink dial is the real eye-catcher of this reference. Depending on the light, its shade appears either subtly rosé or more champagne-coloured, and it stands out clearly against the bright white gold bezel. According to the team's assessment, the dial is in Mint condition. At 36 mm in diameter, the watch wears classically and suits slimmer as well as stronger wrists.

The case has been professionally refinished and high-gloss polished, and the acrylic crystal has also been polished. The watch has been professionally cleaned and checked. The 19 cm bracelet has been polished on the high-gloss surfaces and freshly brushed on the satin-finished sections. Case, crystal and bracelet are rated Mint, the bezel Very Good, and the caseback Acceptable. Inside is the automatic calibre 3035 with a power reserve of 50 hours. A rate deviation of -16 s/d and an amplitude of 238° were measured; the team rates the timekeeping accuracy as Good and the movement as Very Good.
