Rolex Datejust 16200

Reference 16200 is the archetypal stainless steel, smooth-bezel model from the 36mm Datejust 162xx series, which had a long production run from approximately 1988 to 2005. This reference is historically significant as it was part of the generation that introduced the Rolex Caliber 3135, a legendary workhorse movement. The technical specification denotes a 36mm case constructed entirely from 904L stainless steel (0 suffix), fitted with a smooth, domed bezel (0 prefix). Key technical variants include the transition from drilled to non-drilled lug holes and the change in luminous material from tritium to LumiNova.
