1986 Rolex Datejust 16013 - Two-Tone White Dial

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.
