This Rolex Datejust, reference 16263, is a 36mm case in Steel and Yellow Gold used condition, featuring a Ivory Jubilee Arabic dial, a Thunderbird Rotating YG bezel, a Jubilee bracelet, dated circa 1997. Priced dealer-direct — wire transfer gets you the sharpest number.
Few Rolex references do this much work. The Datejust dresses up or runs daily, fits a 26mm wrist or a sporty 41mm, and shows up in Oystersteel, Rolesor two-tone, or solid gold. The 36mm is the classic unisex call. Add fluted versus smooth bezels and diamond-marker dials, and the spread is wide on purpose: $3,539 to $32,200. Wire beats card and saves you real money.

Demand has outrun supply on these for years, and that's the whole story for a buyer. Wilsdorf founded Rolex in 1905, and the Geneva house earned its standing on waterproofing, automatics, and date displays. Precision and durability made the name; the market made it an asset class. Steel sports references sell over retail every day, so dealer-direct pricing and a wire payment keep your fair trade-level number where it belongs. Browse all Rolex ›
