1980 Rolex Datejust Ref. 16013 In Two Tone
Why This Watch Matters With the recent resurgence of two-tone designs, this Rolex Datejust is an OG representative of classic steel-and-gold goodness. The Full Story Fashion and design trends follow a cyclical pattern, and two-tone watches have once again begun trending upward in contemporary watch design. But when it comes to the most iconic two-tone watches, there's no hesitation in saying that the Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet is a cut above the rest. Two-tone watches offer the best of both worlds, with just enough gold to offer a touch of luxury, but an equal amount of steel to keep things casual. This watch has all the signature aesthetics of a Datejust, which include a fluted bezel, baton hour markers, and the Cyclops magnifying bubble over the date window. This example is fitted with a Jubilee bracelet, regarded as one of the most comfortable metal bracelets out there and still in use by Rolex today.
