Details
The Definitive Two-Tone Rolex
The Datejust is the foundation of the Rolex catalog, and the two-tone reference 16013 is arguably its most iconic form. This is the watch that established the visual language of the brand for a generation. The combination of stainless steel and yellow gold, paired with a fluted bezel and a Jubilee bracelet, is a design that has remained relevant for decades because it strikes the perfect balance between utility and dress.
A Clean And Classic Configuration
This example from 1986 features a clean white dial, which offers a crisp and attractive contrast to the warmth of the yellow gold. While many two-tone models from this era were fitted with champagne dials, the white provides a slightly more modern and versatile look without sacrificing any of the watch's inherent character. It is a configuration that feels both timeless and perfectly suited for today.
An Excellent Mid-Eighties Example
This watch is in excellent overall condition. The case, dial, and crystal are all well-preserved and present cleanly. The matching two-tone Jubilee bracelet shows some light stretch, which is entirely consistent for a watch of this era, but it remains in very good shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Watch That Always Works
This is the right choice for anyone who wants the quintessential Rolex experience. It is a watch that fits in anywhere, from the boardroom to a weekend away, and never looks out of place. For a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, the two-tone Datejust represents a cornerstone of watch design that has proven its staying power. It is simply one of the most reliable and recognizable watches ever made.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
