Details
The Foundational Swiss Watch
The Datejust is the watch that defined the modern Rolex catalog. For decades, it has served as the benchmark for a versatile, reliable, and universally recognized luxury watch. This reference 16013 from the mid-1980s perfectly captures the model's most iconic configuration: two-tone steel and yellow gold, a fluted bezel, and the five-link Jubilee bracelet. The Mocha sunburst dial, however, sets it apart from more common champagne and silver variants, offering a warmer and more distinctive tone.
A Classic And Correct Example
This piece represents the classic Datejust in its most balanced form. The tritium dial features applied gold hour markers that catch the light beautifully against the warm brown sunburst finish. The original gold crown is still fitted, and it is paired with its correct two-tone Jubilee bracelet, creating a complete and period-authentic package that represents the best of 1980s Rolex production.
A Confident Vintage Presence
The watch is in very good condition. Its unpolished two-tone case and 18K yellow gold fluted bezel present with a strong profile. The Mocha dial is clean, and the signature Cyclops date window is sharp. The Jubilee bracelet shows some stretch consistent with its age, but if anything, it's more comfortable on the wrist than new. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Only Watch You Ever Need
There is a reason the Datejust has endured for over seventy-five years. It is perhaps the most versatile design in watchmaking history, equally at home with a suit as it is with a t-shirt. This Mocha dial execution offers a touch of individuality without straying from the classic formula. It is the perfect choice for someone who wants one great watch that does everything right, embodying a sense of timeless style that will never feel dated.
