Notes

While most of the Datejusts that have onyx dials are found under references 16018, 16238, this model is the 16248 that has a bark finish bezel as well as inter-links is rarely seen. Kept in excellent overall condition with deep crisp hallmarks and still has the caseback sticker visible, a rarity for the stone Rolex dial collector.
