Rolex oyster perpetual datejust 16220 Burn patina

Rolex Datejust Ref. 16220

A particularly beautiful Rolex Datejust ref. 16220, distinguished by its lovely naturally aged “burnt” champagne dial. The dial has developed a rich warm tone with darker coloration towards the edges, creating a striking patina that gives this example considerably more character than a standard silver dial.

The classic Datejust configuration combines the 36mm Oyster case with Rolex’s iconic engine-turned bezel, sapphire crystal and Cyclops date magnifier. The applied baton markers and clean minute track keep the dial highly legible, while the stainless-steel Oyster bracelet completes the timeless look.

Inside is Rolex’s reliable automatic calibre 3035, featuring the quickset date function. The U548320 serial dates the watch to approximately 1997–1998.
