The Rolex Datejust reference 16018 with Onyx dial is a rare and highly collectible vintage timepiece that perfectly reflects the bold luxury of late 1970s Rolex design. This 1979 example is offered as a certified pre-owned Rolex, presented in good condition, delivered with its original box, and officially serviced by Rolex in 2023.

Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the classic 36mm Oyster case is paired with the iconic fluted bezel, enhancing its unmistakable Rolex identity. The matching yellow gold bracelet reinforces the watch’s prestigious and timeless appeal.

The highlight of this reference is its stunning black Onyx stone dial, elevated by elegant applied hour markers, including diamond-set markers at 6 and 9 o’clock. The deep black stone surface creates a striking contrast with the yellow gold hands and diamond accents, offering a refined yet powerful aesthetic. The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the signature Cyclops lens.

Powering the watch is the reliable Rolex Calibre 3035, an automatic movement with quickset date functionality. Following its official Rolex service in 2023, the movement ensures excellent mechanical performance and long-term reliability.

As a certified vintage Rolex, this Datejust 16018 has been thoroughly authenticated and inspected. The combination of an Onyx dial with diamond markers, full 18k yellow gold construction, documented Rolex service, and original box makes this a highly desirable collector’s piece.

A distinctive and elegant vintage Rolex, the Datejust Onyx 16018 represents timeless sophistication and enduring value.
