This is a true and nice example of vintage luxury. This Rolex Ref. 16013 is from 1988. Case and bracelet are made out of stainless steel and 18k solid gold. Highlight is the factory Red Vignette dial featuring a diamond application. These dials are also called degrade dials because of the degrading color in the middle of the dial which becomes darker towards the edge. The warm bicolor in combination with the Red Vignette dial is incredibly powerful. This was one of the most luxury version of the Datejust available back then. The watch is allover in beautiful condition and fitted with an original Rolex bracelet also made out of stainless steel and 18k solid gold. The case and the bracelet have almost non signs of use. The movement is a automatic cal. 3035 movement, running well and keeping time. This is a true WRISTCLASSIC by an iconic brand. These kinds of watches were and are the best of the best in terms of quality.
