Description
Rolex Datejust 16013 36mm Stainless Steel & 14k Yellow Gold Watch (1979)
The Rolex Datejust reference 16013 is one of the most enduring and recognizable two-tone Rolex designs ever produced. Introduced during the late 1970s, this model perfectly captures the era when Rolex refined the balance between luxury and everyday wearability. The combination of stainless steel and 14k yellow gold, paired with the fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet, creates a look that is unmistakably Rolex.
This 1979 example features the robust automatic Caliber 3035 movement, known for its quickset date functionality and long-term reliability. The 36mm case size remains timeless, offering classic proportions that wear comfortably on the wrist. While showing honest vintage wear consistent with age, this watch retains strong character and charm, making it an excellent entry into vintage Rolex ownership.
In fair vintage condition (7/10), the watch shows normal wear with some stretch to the Jubilee bracelet. Timekeeping is currently running at +15 seconds per day. PM Number: PM4011533
