Rolex celebrated their 40th anniversary with a Jubilee celebration, during which the now-iconic Oyster Perpetual Datejust debuted. Sophisticated and iconic, the Datejust is the ideal companion for casual or formal wear.
The first Datejust included a waterproof Oyster case topped with a fluted bezel and paired with a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, exactly like the reference 16013 that we have up for auction.
A true testament to the timelessness of Rolex as a brand, the classic style of the Datejust endures, even today. This men's Rolex also boasts a two-tone finish crafted from steel and yellow gold.
The white dial with matching gold hands and roman numerals, affectionately called a Buckley dial, is pristine. The acrylic crystal has some small scratches and the cyclops date magnifier seems to have distorted a little probably due to a botched polis but rest assured the distortion is minimal.
A Fliplock clasp holds the bracelet secure, and a waterproof screw-down crown allows the Datejust to get wet up to 100 meters.
