1986 Rolex Datejust Ref. 16013
Why This Watch Matters
A two-tone Datejust with a champagne dial, it's just right.
The Full Story
The Datejust has remained Rolex’s mainstay model since the brand introduced it in 1945. When it comes to popularity, the steel Oyster case and Jubilee bracelet combination is at the top of the pecking order for its sleek appearance and versatility.
The watch was offered in stainless steel, solid gold, or a mix of both, as seen in this example. The patina on the gold gives it a warmer feel that can be found only in vintage pieces that have not been polished for a while. And here, the patinated gold goes amazingly well with the champagne dial, complemented by the black font, gold indexes, and strong date disc. A golden watch, in the truest sense. This example was serviced by Rolex in February of 2021 and comes with the service card and green Rolex pouch. Additionally, four links are included with the already pretty nicely sized bracelet.
