A characterful and charming example of the classic two-tone Datejust, this reference 16013 features a beautifully aged champagne linen dial — a finish prized by collectors for its subtle texture and understated warmth.

Dating to 1986 (serial available on request), this watch pairs a fluted yellow gold bezel with a stainless steel case, powered by the reliable automatic Rolex calibre 3035 movement with quickset date function.

The case retains good proportions with even lugs, and the original gold handset remains intact, showing warm ageing throughout. We've paired the watch with a rich brown Molequin strap that complements the warmth of the dial and adds a contemporary edge.

A versatile vintage Rolex that wears elegantly today — and carries a dial you’ll rarely see twice.
