Few watches capture Rolex’s timeless appeal like the Rolex Datejust 16013, an icon that bridges eras with effortless style. Produced in 1987, this R-serial vintage Rolex represents the last of the plexiglass Datejust models — a transitional period that holds special significance for collectors. Its warm acrylic crystal, elegant proportions, and two-tone finish embody the perfect blend of vintage character and modern-day sophistication.

The Rolex Datejust Model 16013 features a 36mm stainless steel and 18k yellow gold case, fluted bezel, and a refined champagne dial that radiates understated luxury. Powered by the Caliber 3035 automatic quickset movement, it introduced convenience without compromising authenticity — a hallmark that makes this reference so desirable. Paired with the classic two-tone Jubilee bracelet, the 16013 wears comfortably while exuding the unmistakable prestige that has defined Rolex for decades.

Collectors and investors are especially drawn to this model for its place in Rolex history. The R-serial “ultimate plexi” Datejust is celebrated as one of the final references to feature the vintage acrylic crystal before the brand transitioned fully to sapphire, offering both a tactile nostalgia and lasting collectability.

This pre-owned vintage Rolex Datejust 16013 is presented in excellent condition, fully inspected and authentication certified, with its original box — a rare find for a watch of its era. Beyond its aesthetic and mechanical merit, it represents a secure and enduring investment for the discerning buyer. Whether you’re starting your collection or adding a cornerstone piece, this Datejust offers a balance of prestige, history, and value that few timepieces can match — a true testament to Rolex’s enduring legacy.
