The 26mm Rolex Datejust is a refined expression of timeless craftsmanship, designed for those who appreciate both elegance and precision. This stunning 1978 timepiece (Model 6916) is a harmonious blend of luxury and durability, featuring a classic two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold construction. The iconic Jubilee bracelet, known for its fluid design and comfort, enhances the watch’s sophisticated allure while maintaining a secure fit on the wrist.
What truly sets this Rolex apart is its upgraded aftermarket mother-of-pearl diamond dial—a mesmerizing display of iridescence that shifts in the light, showcasing soft, natural hues. Each diamond marker is meticulously set, creating a radiant contrast against the dial’s ethereal backdrop. Complementing this brilliance is an upgraded aftermarket diamond bezel, adding a captivating sparkle that frames the dial with exquisite refinement.
Originally equipped with an acrylic crystal, this watch has been upgraded with a sapphire crystal, offering improved scratch resistance and clarity. However, despite this upgrade, this vintage Rolex is not water-resistant and should not be worn while showering or swimming.
Measuring 6 3/4" in length, the Jubilee bracelet remains in excellent condition with minimal stretch, rated a strong 7 out of 10—preserving its integrity and ensuring long-lasting wear. The watch’s automatic movement ensures precision and reliability, reflecting Rolex’s commitment to exceptional engineering.
