History and Significance
By the early 2000s, Rolex had fully standardized its use of Luminova, pairing it with updated Datejust references like the 16234. This reference combines the classic 36mm steel case with an 18k white gold fluted bezel and the dependable Caliber 3135 movement. It represents the enduring formula that has kept the Datejust relevant across generations while preserving its recognizable proportions.
The blue stick dial on this example is an especially appealing configuration, known for its clarity and sharp contrast under different lighting conditions. The dial is all original and in perfect condition. This watch retains its original sapphire crystal with the Rolex laser-etched coronet at six o’clock, a detail introduced around this period. The Jubilee bracelet and white gold fluted bezel complete the design that many consider the definitive Datejust look.
Writer's Thoughts
The combination of the blue stick dial and white gold bezel gives this example a crisp, versatile look that works in both casual and formal settings. The strong case proportions and tight bracelet make it feel solid on the wrist, and the overall presentation reflects a well-kept early 2000s Datejust.
