Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today's watch is a rare full-gold Datejust model!!

ROLEX Datejust Stella Boiler Gauge All Tritium
Ref.16018 Serial.95xxxx (manufactured circa 1986)
Cal.3035 8386/FF49 Clasp code K10
Accessories: Box, warranty card (400: Hong Kong / March 1987 stamp)
SOLD OUT!! 

 

The Datejust "Ref. 16018" was produced until the late 1980s.

This time, we have the rare "Boiler Gauge" dial, named for its resemblance to a boiler's pressure gauge.

This dial was mainly adopted for the Datejust, and is characterized by the railway minute track on the inner circumference and the Breguet numeral indices placed around it.

It exudes an indescribably retro atmosphere, a dial that always captivates.

Boiler gauge dials exist in white, ivory, and blue, but the one introduced today is the rarest, a blue dial, which is overwhelmingly scarce on the market.

It is said that Stella dials have slight differences in color intensity depending on the individual watch, but
this particular piece has a deep, beautiful dial, which is highly recommended!

This dial appears dark blue when viewed straight on, but it shows various expressions depending on the angle and how the light hits it.

How do you like it?? This beautiful blue dial...

It's a deep blue dial, but when light hits it, a beautiful blue color emerges from within.

What a vivid color it is.

When viewed up close, you can enjoy the glossy texture of the enamel-coated Stella dial.

It's a mysterious dial with the unique texture of thick lacquer, yet when viewed from a distance, it looks like a sunray finish.

The gold lettering really stands out on the blue dial!!

The dial shows only minor scratches and some missing lume on the indices, but
it generally maintains a clean condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The condition of the hand luminous is also good!

The case and bracelet are also in excellent condition, maintaining their superb state!!

Look at the condition of the middle case!!

Although it is not unpolished, it is in attractive condition, maintaining its original form!

The lugs are also thick and well-defined!!
The fine hairline finish is also in beautiful condition.

It's a striking and attractive case!!

The buckle clasp code is "K10"

The bracelet, which matches the era, is in good condition with only slight stretching!

Accessories include a box, warranty card, Datejust booklet (87), Oyster booklet (87), calendar (88-89), pass case, and extra links!

Wrist shot!Cool!!This is a rare model that you rarely come across!!The full-gold Jubilee bracelet also looks great.

Datejust rare dial "Ref. 16018/Blue Boiler Gauge"
