Rolex Datejust 16078: 18k Yellow Gold, Blue Computer Dial
The reason to look at this one is the dial. It is the blue “computer” dial, named for the repeating pattern of tiny Rolex crowns that looks a bit like circuitry when you get close. Reference 16078 is the solid 18k yellow gold Datejust of its day, 36mm, with a gold fluted bezel and an automatic movement. It sits on a genuine Rolex leather strap.
We will say it plainly: this is sold as watch only, so no box and no papers, and it is priced that way. For a solid gold vintage Datejust with a dial people actually go looking for, that trade is often worth making.
