1993 Rolex Datejust "Tropical" Ref.16200

Few watches are as universally recognized as the Rolex Datejust. Introduced in 1945, the Datejust set the standard for the modern wristwatch, being the first automatic chronometer with a date function that changed instantaneously at midnight. Its timeless 36mm case, fluted bezel, and Jubilee bracelet have made an instantly recognizable silhouette in the watch world. 

What sets this example apart is its tropical dial—a phenomenon where the original dial color has aged into a unique, rich patina over time. Once a standard champagne dial, it has transformed into something entirely one-of-a-kind, giving this Datejust a warmth and character that no modern watch can replicate. In addition to its character, it is accompanied by its original box and papers and is in fantastic overall condition.
