Reference 16030 - produced from 1977 through 1988 - is widely regarded as the last genuinely vintage Datejust, and one of the most resolved expressions of the model. This particular example dates to 1978 by serial number, placing it among the earliest production of the reference. It is sharp, unpolished, and recently serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe black dial is clean and direct - no unnecessary detail, just indices, hands, and the date window at three o'clock with Rolex's signature Cyclops magnification. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe engine-turned bezel is the defining visual detail of the 16030 - machined with a fine, textured pattern that sits between the formality of a fluted bezel and the plainness of a smooth one. It is also a detail that no longer exists in Rolex's current lineup, having been discontinued across the entire collection by the end of the 2000s. Collectors have taken notice: the engine-turned bezel is now one of the more sought-after period details on vintage Datejust references, and there is no modern equivalent to buy new. The original Jubilee bracelet remains on the watch - a detail that matters to collectors and one that is increasingly difficult to find intact on examples of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside sits the Caliber 3035 - Rolex's first high-beat automatic, and the first to introduce a quickset date function. The movement runs at 28,800 vph, carries 27 jewels, a Breguet overcoil hairspring, and Microstella regulation. This watch has been professionally inspected and serviced by our watchmaker, is running accurately, and comes with a one-year warranty. Express insured shipping and careful presentation included. \u003cbr\u003e(The pictures were taken on a 17.5cm\/\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e57\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e64\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e inches\u003c\/span\u003e wrist)\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"inline-flex\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eStainless steel Oyster case, 36mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEngine-turned bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAcrylic crystal with Cyclops date magnifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eScrew-down Oyster crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCase in excellent condition - sharp lugs, no polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSerial 565XXXX, dated to circa 1978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBlack dial with applied silver-tone stick indices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDauphine hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDate aperture at 3 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eClean, unrestored condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBRACELET:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOriginal stainless steel Jubilee bracelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eReference 62510H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSolid end links\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOVEMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRolex Caliber 3035, automatic self-winding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e27 jewels, 28,800 vph (4 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBreguet overcoil hairspring, Microstella regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eQuickset date function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePower reserve approximately 48 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eServiced and running accurately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DuMarko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49189008212220,"sku":null,"price":7300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2266\/1116\/files\/vintage-rolex-datejust-36-ref-16030-black-dial-engine-turned-bezel-original-jubilee-bracelet-circa-1978-3542055.jpg?v=1781510116","url":"https:\/\/dumarko.com\/products\/vintage-rolex-datejust-36-ref-16030-black-dial-engine-turned-bezel-original-jubilee-bracelet-circa-1978","provider":"DuMarko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
