Vintage ROLEX Datejust 36 Tapestry Dial Mint+ Like New Serviced 12/2025 [REF. 16200]

Exceptional Rolex Datejust in near-mint condition

This 1991 Rolex Datejust 36 with a champagne-colored tapestry dial is, without exaggeration, one of the finest examples of its kind. Its overall condition is outstanding, bordering on "Mint+ / Like New." The watch has barely been worn, as evidenced by the extremely sharp case edges, minimal bracelet stretch, and its overall pristine appearance.

It is particularly noteworthy that this Datejust has only been very lightly polished. The original lines and proportions of the case have been completely preserved – a crucial factor for discerning collectors.

This Rolex Datejust underwent a complete overhaul at our workshop in December 2025. The movement was completely disassembled, cleaned, oiled, and regulated. The excellent measurements confirm its superb technical condition and make this watch ideal for both collectors and everyday wear.

The bracelet is also in excellent condition and shows only minimal stretch, which is absolutely exceptional for a Datejust of this age.
