1986 Rolex Datejust Ref. 16013 Two Tone 36mm Box Jubilee Bracelet

WHY THIS WATCH

The Rolex Datejust is a classic timepiece that has been a mainstay in the world of luxury watches for over 70 years. The first Datejust model was introduced in 1945, and it was the first wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date display. This revolutionary feature was made possible by a new self-winding movement developed by Rolex, which also allowed the watch to have a more streamlined, sleek design. The Datejust represents the spirit of the Rolex by treading that fine line between an all-out dress piece and something robust and versatile enough to be worn every day.

The Rolex reference 16XXX is a vintage Datejust that was in production from 1977 to the late 1988's. The major distinction between this reference and it's predecessor is the engine. This watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3035, an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vph. Among watch repair circles, this movement is know to be a die-hard, bullet-proof calibre, that has a low failure rate, and is very easy to maintain. It's not uncommon for us to come across watches with this movement that were never serviced and are still keeping time to within COSC specs. Besides the movement, this reference kept the classic case size and lines of datejusts of that era.

On the wrist, this watch feels like the perfect vintage datejust. The watch also has a classic, elegant look that is timeless, making it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. This watch gives off a warm vintage vibe that you can't get from later models. The gold bezel and center links on the jubilee bracelet give it the perfect amount elegance while keeping the watch appropriate for casual use. The 36mm Oyster case is the perfect size for me, and sits well on the wrist without feeling too heavy or bulky. The jubilee bracelet is another standout feature, and is buttery-smooth on the wrist. This particular example is in excellent for its age, with a very well preserved dial and case.
