Curator Thoughts
The Rolex Datejust is an icon and has seen hundreds if not thousands of variations and different designs. The reference 16220 was Rolex's idea of dressing down the Datejust. With an engine turn bezel and oyster bracelet, the Datejust gets a bit more sporty. This one is even cooler because of its dial. A rare Ivory Anniverary dial with large Arabic numerals. When it comes to Datejusts, this dial is one of the nicest ones from the 162xx era.
Condition Analysis
The case and bracelet are unpolished and do show some signs of wear; however, there are no major dings or dents. The dial is in perfect condition with no signs of wear or aging. The watch is a K serial with the bracelet code stamped 'DT-1'.
