1982 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust

Brand & manufacture - Rolex, Switzerland Year - 1982 Serial # -  7251629; model 16030 Movement & caliber - Automatic 3035 Case diameter - 36mm A stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 1603. This is an exceptional, and quite rare dial; a sand base with large printed black Roman numerals, chapter ring and printing for the text. This is a less common combination, and is particularly interesting given the classic Rolex baton hands are also painted black, really standing out from the dial. These dials are often seen in white with black printing, or even the navy with white printing. It is very beautiful on the wrist. One other different variation to this watch is the bezel. As opposed to the classic coin edge, or smooth bezel, this watch features what is known as the “engine turned” bezel. All stainless steel with a engraved pattern into it. The dial is printed "T Swiss T" at the six o'clock position, meaning that it contains tritium luminous material. This
