Rolex Datejust 116334

2010 Rolex Datejust II 116334 - Saudi Khanjar Engraving, Blue Dial

At a glance, this is a familiar Datejust II. Blue Roman dial, fluted white gold bezel, Oyster bracelet. Then you turn it over. The Saudi Khanjar engraving on the caseback immediately changes the conversation. These were not decorative add ons. They were issued pieces, tied to a specific market and moment, and they were never produced in large numbers. This engraving tells you exactly what kind of watch this was. Owned and kept, not stored away. Why this configuration matters The Datejust II already sits in a narrower lane than the standard 36mm Datejust. At 41mm, it has more presence and a more modern stance, while still keeping the classic Rolex layout intact. The blue Roman dial adds weight and formality, and the white gold fluted bezel keeps it sharp rather than flashy. The Saudi Khanjar caseback is what elevates it. These engravings were applied to watches destined for the Saudi market and are actively collected for their provenance. These pieces rarely leave the original owners in Saudi Arabia. This one clearly saw use, which is exactly what you want to see. It's clear the piece was loved by it's original owner. What you need to know before wearing it The watch runs very well with strong amplitude and low beat error after passing by our test bench. The dial and crystal are perfect. The bracelet is in good condition and wears comfortably. The caseback engraving shows wear, and the bezel shows light wear as well. This watch is a great daily driver. Why this watch still works This is not a safe queen Datejust II. It is a watch with character and provenance. The engraving adds a layer of history that standard examples simply do not have. It works for someone who wants a modern sized Datejust with something extra beneath the surface. Familiar from the front, meaningful once you look closer. A watch that was clearly owned with intention and is ready to keep being worn. Every watch we offer has been authenticated and mechanically looked over to ensure immediate usability. Bracelet extension, cutting, or sizing is available upon request through our professional in-house jewelers.
