Rolex Datejust Ref. 16013 is one of the most recognisable and enduring luxury watches ever produced. Introduced during the late 1970s, this iconic Rolesor reference combines stainless steel with 18ct yellow gold, perfectly capturing the timeless elegance that has defined the Datejust collection for generations. Featuring a classic champagne dial, signature fluted yellow gold bezel, and the instantly recognisable Jubilee bracelet, the 16013 offers a perfect balance of refinement, versatility, and everyday wearability. As one of Rolex's most celebrated vintage references, it remains a favourite amongst collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Powered by the dependable Rolex Calibre 3035 automatic movement, this chronometer-certified calibre marked a significant milestone in Rolex's history as the brand's first high-beat Datejust movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Featuring a quickset date function, approximately 42-hour power reserve, and COSC-certified accuracy, the Calibre 3035 is renowned for its reliability, precision, and ease of servicing. Its introduction modernised the Datejust line while preserving the timeless character that continues to define the collection today.
