Rolex Datejust 36 | Ref. 16234 (1991)

​Status: AVAILABLE

​The Rolex Datejust Reference 16234 is the quintessential neo-vintage daily driver, perfectly marrying classic mid-century aesthetics with modern mechanical upgrades. This specific 1991 model stands out with its exceptionally rare Silver Tapestry Dial—a textured vertical pattern famously associated with late-20th-century sophistication. Framed by a sharp 18k white gold fluted bezel, the dial catches the light dynamic ways, shifting from brilliant silver to deep, smoky grey depending on the environment.
