Model Reference
The Rolex Datejust II 116334 was added to the Datejust II line offered by Rolex in 2009 due to the decision of the brand to produce an expanded line of the traditional Datejust collection by making a bigger case of the watch in 41mm. But the Datejust II line did not last for a long time since it was discontinued with the introduction of the Datejust 41 line in 2016.
As a result, the 116334 proved to be quite an intriguing piece in the Datejust line as it combined all the distinctive features of the Datejust line like the fluted bezel, date display aperture, and magnification glass with a larger dial size.
The first indicator of the most distinguishing feature of the 116334 is its 18 ct white gold fluted bezel along with the Oystersteel case, which constitute the White Rolesor combination of Rolex watches. The resemblance in appearance of both materials makes the bezel a means to use precious metal decoration without the color contrast from yellow or Everose gold.
The Oyster has a diameter of 41mm and comes with a sapphire crystal having a Cyclops window for showing the date at three o'clock. This watch is waterproof up to 100 meters deep and runs on a self-winding Rolex Calibre 3136. Various dials were offered to the customer so that the buyers could choose from the different dials offered for the same number of the model. The Oyster band is commonly worn with 116334; thus, it is one of the better Rolex Datejust II watches.
The most basic approach to analyzing the 116334 is to think of it not as simply an evolution of the 36mm Datejust in 41mm sizing. The Datejust II is constructed in slightly beefier proportions, including having a thicker bezel and greater construction of the case itself. This makes it different from the Datejust 41 that followed it.
The reference 116334 takes things one step further with its white gold fluted bezel. At first glance, there is not a lot to see as the steel and white gold make for a relatively monochromatic design. Closer inspection will reveal the extra shine created by the fluting. Depending on which dial is applied, this watch could either be quite understated or more striking without altering the case and bezel itself.
The Datejust 41 updated the formula with a new proportion and movement generation. But for those collectors who really appreciate the more substantial presence of the earlier 41mm version, the obsolete 116334 falls neatly into place in the timeline of the Datejust.
