Here we have a great example of the legendary Rolex Datejust, reference 16013. This watch has an 8.93M serial number indicating circa 1986 production. This Datejust is all original, with a scarce grey tapestry dial that has developed a killer patina on the hour markers and has the hands to match. It’s powered by the Rolex caliber 3035 automatic movement with quickset date. This watch is accompanied by its original inner and outer boxes, warranty certificate, certificate holder, booklet, and a service card from RSC indicating a just completed June 2018 factory service.
