Contents of Sale
This charming vintage Rolex Datejust dates to 1982 and is accompanied by its original Rolex box, papers and manuals.

The Datejust
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most recognisable and enduring watches ever produced, combining timeless styling with robust everyday practicality. The reference 16013 is a classic two-tone Datejust, offering the perfect balance between sportiness and elegance.

The Dial
The standout feature of this example is its original champagne linen dial. Unlike a standard champagne finish, the dial displays Rolex’s distinctive crosshatch linen texture, creating a rich fabric-like appearance that gives the watch exceptional depth and character. The lume, baton hour markers and hands have aged beautifully over time, developing a warm, even patina that perfectly complements the dial’s vintage aesthetic.

The Case
The 36mm Oyster case is crafted from stainless steel and fitted with an 14k yellow gold fluted bezel. The case remains in good condition for its age, retaining the classic proportions that have made the Datejust a staple of the Rolex catalogue for generations.

The Bracelet
Fitted with its original stainless steel and 14k yellow gold Jubilee bracelet, this Datejust delivers the comfort and elegance for which the model is renowned.

The Movement
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3035 automatic movement. Introduced as Rolex’s first high-beat Datejust movement with a quickset date function, the Calibre 3035 is highly regarded for its reliability, accuracy, and ease of use.

The Crystal
Protecting the dial is an acrylic crystal fitted with Rolex’s signature Cyclops date magnifier at 3 o’clock, enhancing legibility of the date display.
