Rolex Datejust 36mm White Roman Numeral Dial 16203

The Rolex Datejust 16203 is a timeless bi-metal classic, exemplifying Rolex’s enduring design language and long-term collectability. Produced in 2002, this reference features the iconic Rolesor combination of stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, a signature pairing that has defined the Datejust line for generations.

This example is fitted with a crisp white Roman numeral dial with applied gold numerals, offering an elegant contrast against the dial surface and enhancing both legibility and visual warmth. The refined dial is framed by an 18ct yellow gold smooth bezel, which complements the gold hour markers beautifully and adds understated luxury to the robust 36mm Oystersteel case — a size widely regarded as the definitive Datejust proportion.

The watch is completed by a steel and gold Oyster bracelet, renowned for its strength, comfort and timeless aesthetic, secured with a folding Oysterclasp. Powering the watch is a Rolex automatic manufacture movement, delivering the precision, reliability and longevity expected from the brand.

As a discontinued reference, the Datejust 16203 continues to attract collectors seeking a classic Rolex with precious metal content, traditional proportions and enduring market appeal. A versatile and investment-worthy timepiece, suitable for both daily wear and long-term ownership.
