1980 ROLEX DateJust 16013

Beautiful 1980 ROLEX DateJust 16013. A watch that needs little introduction, this is an instantly recognizable classic. With its 36mm case it wears easy with virtually any attire. This being a early 5-series, inside you will find the venerable Caliber 3035 movement. It was this movement that introduced the quick-set date feature, making the watch ideal for non-every-day wear, along with a higher beat rate for a smoother sweep of the seconds hand. Over the movement sits a light Champaign dial with all its creamy lume plots still in place. No service history but it appears to be running with a very strong amplitude in the 280s, suggesting that it was serviced within the past year. As pictured, it comes on a very comfortable leather strap with no box or papers.
