Rolex open 6 and 9

Question:

I have a Rolex Datejust 16234 that dates to a 1991 with a sapphire crystal. The datewheel has open 6's and 9's...Just confirming this is correct for this age...

Thanks TRF!

My 1993 16233 had closed 6 & 9.

Have you looked it up on Chrono24, for same year examples?

It is generally accepted that around 1992 is when Rolex phased out the open 6 and 9 and started the closed numbers on the date wheels.
