ROLEX Datejust Oyster Perpetual Ref. 16013 Red Vignette Factory – 1988

Here we have a stunning example of vintage luxury: the Rolex Datejust Ref. 16013 from 1988. This exquisite WRISTCLASSIC features a stainless steel and 18k solid gold case and bracelet, highlighted by its factory Red Vignette dial with diamond markers. Known as a “degradé” dial, the color fades elegantly from a vibrant red at the center to a darker shade toward the edges, adding a unique depth and allure to the watch. This warm bicolor combination with the Red Vignette dial is visually powerful and was among the most luxurious Datejust configurations available at the time. The watch is in beautiful condition overall, with both the case and the original two-tone bracelet showing minimal signs of wear. Inside, it houses the reliable automatic cal. 3035 movement, which is running well and keeping excellent time. This Rolex Ref. 16013 is a timeless masterpiece, showcasing the brand’s enduring quality and elegance—an essential piece for any vintage watch enthusiast or collector.
