SOLD OUT: Rolex Datejust 36MM 16013 Automatic Jubilee Two Tone Champagne Box

WHY THIS WATCH

Known by some as the perfect, everyday wristwatch, the Rolex Datejust, introduced in 1945, revolutionized wristwatches with its automatically changing date function. As Rolex's flagship model, it showcases the brand's innovation and elegance. The Datejust's Oyster case, waterproof and robust, houses the perpetual self-winding movement. Renowned for its versatility, the timepiece remains a symbol of prestige and timeless style.

The Rolex reference 16013 is a vintage Datejust that was in production from 1977 to the late 1988's. The major distinction between this reference and it's predecessor is the engine. This watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3035, an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vph. Among watch repair circles, this movement is know to be a die-hard, bullet-proof calibre, that has a low failure rate, and is very easy to maintain. It's not uncommon for us to come across watches with this movement that were never serviced and are still keeping time to within COSC specs. Besides the movement, this reference kept the classic case size and lines of datejusts of that era.

The Rolex reference 16013 possesses distinct features that set it apart from other Rolex watches. Its notable attribute is the captivating combination of a stainless steel case and an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, exuding a unique blend of sophistication and resilience. This two-tone allure extends to the Jubilee bracelet, further enhancing its timeless appeal. The dial showcases a refined champagne color, accentuated by luminous gold-tone hour markers and hands. Additionally, the Datejust function with the iconic Cyclops magnifier at 3 o'clock adds practicality. The Reference 16013 embodies the perfect harmony of luxury, durability, and elegance, making it an iconic choice for discerning watch enthusiasts.

The exquisite Rolex reference 16013 is powered by the renowned caliber 3035 movement, a marvel of Swiss craftsmanship. With its 27 meticulously placed jewels, this self-winding mechanical movement oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, ensuring unparalleled precision. The caliber 3035 offers a generous power reserve of approximately 48 hours, allowing for uninterrupted elegance and performance.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The Rolex reference 16013 wears with effortless comfort and elegance on the wrist. Its well-proportioned case, measuring 36mm in diameter, strikes a perfect balance between presence and versatility. The Jubilee bracelet, adorned with stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, wraps around the wrist smoothly, providing a secure and comfortable fit. The watch's weight feels just right, neither too heavy nor too light. With its refined aesthetics and meticulous craftsmanship, the Reference 16013 wears with an air of refined confidence, making it a true pleasure to wear and showcase on any occasion.

Watch was worn very sparingly and is in overall excellent condition, with only minor wear on the case and bracelet. I would rate the watch as a 9/10 overall, see picutres. Movement is running strong, keeping excellent time with no mechanical issues. The band has some light stretch from normal use. Comes with box and manuals only.
