Rolex | Ref. 16013

Sold

Black Bi-Color Datejust!

The Rolex Datejust reference 16013 is a timeless classic from the brand, combining sporty elegance with iconic design. The example offered here bears a serial number in the 5 million range and dates from 1979. The watch comes with original Swiss papers, the original Rolex box, and a service receipt from 1991.

A special highlight is the beautiful black tritium dial, which is in very nice condition. The luminous dots have developed a harmonious patina and are perfectly complemented by the matching original tritium hands, giving the watch an extremely harmonious and authentic vintage appearance.

The watch was refurbished in previous years and today presents itself in overall very good condition with beautiful substance. The case looks balanced, with honest signs of wear that emphasize the character of this vintage Datejust.

The Jubilee bracelet is in good condition and shows very little stretch for its age. Age-related signs of wear are visible on the clasp, but these do not detract from the positive overall impression.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
