About the Reference
The Rolex 16013 is one of the most recognisable vintage Datejust references. The Calibre 3035 brought the convenience of a quick-set date, while the Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel cemented the model’s reputation as Rolex’s ultimate everyday luxury watch.
Our View
The Datejust 16013 remains a cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting. This example benefits from a fresh polish, strong overall condition and the warm, classic appeal of the champagne dial. Yes, the bracelet shows some sagging—but that’s entirely normal for a watch of this era and part of its vintage character. A fantastic opportunity to own a true Rolex classic that works just as well today as it did decades ago
