Rolex Datejust 16058

Reference 16058 is an exceptionally rare, decorative model from the 36mm Datejust 160xx series, produced from approximately 1977 to 1988. Its primary technical feature, specified by the 5 in the reference number, is a ‘Pyramid’ bezel. This bezel, crafted from solid 18k yellow gold (8), is geometrically faceted with small, polished pyramids. This finish was frequently paired with a matching Pyramid President bracelet. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3035, significant for introducing the ‘quickset’ date function. The case is fitted with a domed acrylic crystal. The significance of the Ref. 16058 lies in its highly stylized and bold luxury aesthetic.
