Details
The Enduring Two-Tone Standard
The two-tone Datejust is a foundational piece in the Rolex catalog, and the reference 16013 is the quintessential version from the 1980s. It represents the perfect execution of the steel and gold aesthetic that defined an era of watch design. This example stands out with its warm mocha dial, a less common and more subtle choice than the standard champagne or silver options. It gives the watch a distinct character that feels both classic and unique.
A Dial With Distinctive Warmth
This 1986 example captures the specific appeal of mid-era Datejusts. The mocha dial has a rich, brown tone that pairs perfectly with the yellow gold of the fluted bezel and crown. It is a configuration that feels deliberate and sophisticated, offering a visual depth that sets it apart from more conventional dial colors. Mounted on a leather strap, the watch leans into its dressier side while remaining a versatile daily wearer.
Well Preserved For Its Age
This example is in very good condition for a watch from the mid-1980s. The dial is in great shape, with lume plots that have aged to a consistent and pleasing color. The stainless steel case appears unpolished and is well preserved, as is the acrylic crystal. The combination of a sharp case and a clean, distinctive dial makes for a very strong vintage presentation on the wrist. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Daily Vintage
This is the right choice for someone who wants a classic Rolex with a bit of individuality. The two-tone look is timeless, and the mocha dial provides a point of difference that will be noticed by those who appreciate the details. It is a watch that works in any setting, capable of being dressed up or down with ease. It remains one of the most intelligent and stylish entry points into vintage Rolex ownership.
