Rolex Datejust 16013 (1985) Box (inner and outer) and Handtags

 

Dating to 1985, this Rolex Datejust reference 16013 presents in exceptional, near unworn condition and features a stunning gilt black dial with applied gold baton hour markers and matching baton hands, framed by an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel. The two-tone steel and gold construction is completed by the original stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Jubilee bracelet.

 

The watch retains its original factory Rolex caseback sticker — a rare sight — and comes with its original serial-numbered tag, Rolex certified tag, Datejust catalogue booklet, and both inner and outer boxes. The gilt black dial remains in remarkable condition, with only a trace of tarnish visible on the hands, consistent with careful long-term storage. The lume has turned to a deeply burnished orange, full of character.

 

Powered by an automatic movement with a practical quick-set date function, this example stands as a true time capsule piece. An outstanding specimen for the discerning collector or an exceptional gift for any connoisseur of classic Rolex design.
