Rolex Datejust ref. 16030 “Buckley” 1980 with Box and Papers

Not only is this a fine collector set with box, papers and lanyard, but this is also an excellent example from a prime vintage Datejust era. The “Buckley” is a variant that features a factory Rolex dial with painted roman numerals for markers and matching color hands—a Buck with a cadet blue dial and white handset is extra special. Even better, the 16030 is the same quickset movement that powers the Sea Dweller and Sub-date, yet still has that old charm with open 6 font in the datewheel and warm acrylic crystal to view mustard colored lume plots. While no service history, this one is smooth and healthy.

  • total watch plus bracelet length is 7.75in but we recommend 7.5in and smaller to ensure fit. Links can be removed for smaller wrists

  • No damage on watch or signs of over polishing, just a light desk rash on clasp that can be brushed and polished by request

  • will consider trades that make sense but please consider time, shipping, and trade value—not market.

  • Video is always the best way to view a timepiece if unavailable to see in person.
