For sale is a Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 16013 in Steel & 18k Yellow Gold - Sold as a full set with Box, Papers, Swing Tags & Booklets.
The watch has been maintained in its original unpolished condition and has developed amazing patina throughout the gold on the bracelet and bezel - this patina can be removed through a polish but we have opted to keep it in its original condition for collectibility.
The 16013: The Rolex 16013 is a model from the iconic Rolex Datejust line, introduced in the 1970s. It combines the timeless design and precision engineering Rolex is known for with the appeal of a classic two-tone look. Here's a breakdown of the key features:
Material: The 16013 features a two-tone construction, often referred to as "Rolesor" by Rolex, which combines stainless steel for the case and yellow gold for the crown, bezel and center links of the bracelet. This gives the watch a luxurious yet durable feel.
The gold on the watch has developed a beautiful oxidised patina which has taken form in multiple colours such as orange, purple and blue and can be seen across the bezel and centre links of the bracelet. The oxidisation can be removed via a polish but we have opted to leave the watch in its original state as preferred by many collectors.
Size: The case diameter is 36mm, a standard size for Rolex Datejust models. It's an ideal size for both casual and formal wear.
Dial: Featuring an iconic champagne sunburst dial with gold baton hour markers and gold hands.
It has the signature date window at 3 o'clock, which is magnified by the famous Cyclops lens at 2 o'clock.
Movement: The 16013 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3035 automatic movement. It has a self-winding mechanism and is known for its accuracy and reliability.
Bezel: The bezel of the Rolex 16013 is fluted and made of yellow gold, which is both a stylistic and functional element, offering a distinct contrast to the stainless steel case.
Crystal: The watch features an acrylic crystal giving it the vintage appeal which was part of many 80s watches.
In summary, the Rolex 16013 is a versatile and elegant timepiece that bridges the gap between luxury and functionality, embodying Rolex’s reputation for craftsmanship and timeless design.
