Datejust - Tapestry dial

Basic details for vintage watches cannot always be researched 100% accurately, especially the caliber, power reserve, water resistance and measurements may differ slightly. The ref. 16220, introduced in 1989, replaced the previous ref. 16030 and was the last Datejust model to feature a specific bezel type no longer used by Rolex. It strikes a balance between a dress piece and an everyday watch, appealing to those who appreciate vintage looks with modern engineering. The Cal. 3135 movement, found in the ref. 162XX series, improved upon the previous Cal. 3035 with subtle changes, such as a higher beat frequency and increased power reserve.
