Produced in a limited production run, this exceptional 1984 Rolex Datejust features the highly elusive “boiler gauge” blue dial—one of the most distinctive and rarely encountered dial configurations of the era. The dial’s design evokes the instrumentation of a vintage boiler gauge, characterised by applied Arabic numerals and an inner rail-track minute scale, all executed on a deep lacquered midnight-blue surface with remarkable depth and presence.

 

Coveted by discerning collectors for both its rarity and striking aesthetic, this dial variant represents a fascinating intersection of technical design and classic Rolex elegance. The watch is presented in stainless steel with a white-gold fluted bezel and the original Jubilee bracelet—an iconic configuration that perfectly balances understated luxury with avant-garde dial design.

 

A truly uncommon Datejust, seldom seen on the market and even rarer in such attractive condition, this piece offers a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking something beyond the conventional Rolex canon.
