Rolex experimented with different hard-stone dials, to further enhance the Datejust’s beauty. The present example is a wonderful representation of the beloved Datejust, fitted with a gorgeous lapis lazuli dial. As the manufacturing process is extremely difficult due to the delicate nature of the hard stones, a significant number of the dials are ultimately unusable as they can easily break. It is especially rare to find a steel Datejust combined with the hard stone dial, and are extremely desirable amongst collectors. The overall state of preservation of the present reference 16200 is rare to find, with the spectacular dial and sharp definition in the case, lugs, bezel and bracelet, still retaining the green Rolex sticker on the caseback, making this an attractive addition to any collection.
