The Reference 16030 that we have here dates to circa 1985 and comes to us in strong overall condition. The case has been lightly previously polished in the past and retains correct proportions and shows light signs of wear. The correct stainless steel engine-turned bezel is in matching condition. It comes fitted to its correct Jubilee bracelet, which shows normal wear from age and mild stretch.
The real highlight of this piece, however, is that cream-tone 'Boiler Gauge' dial within. Originally white in color, a handful of Rolex dials of this era aged over decades to a gorgeous creamy color. This example is in immaculate condition, with an evenly aged and clean surface and fully intact Tritium plots. The applied 'Arabic' indices seem to blend elements from Art-Deco and Steampunk beautifully, resulting in a wildly cool flair to them.
All things considered, this is tough to beat, be it for your one vintage watch, or as an additional to a growing collection. Either way, these don't surface all too often and this is a fantastic example.

From Rolex & Patek Philippe, to Cartier & Audemars Piguet. As collectors first, we love the small details that separate the Submariner from Daytona and Calatrava from Royal Oak. This is why you'll find our curated assortment spans decades of generations of models and brands. We believe that watches don't just tell time, they tell history - and life is too short to wear a boring watch.
