Rolex’s Datejust model was released in 1945 in celebration of the brand’s 40th anniversary. It was the first self-winding wristwatch with date window and represented a turning point in Rolex history, bringing together all the features that its founder Hans Wilsdorf held dear. It was engineered as a resistant, automatic, and precise timepiece and sometimes featured very special dials created for prestigious clients such as governments or prominent royals. The present lot’s dial has a special logo: the “UAE Armed Forces” Hawk. Rolex watches have long been favored by sheiks, army officials and Middle Eastern rulers. The present reference 16 013 is one of these examples, with a striking dial and superb overall condition of both the case and the Jubilee bracelet, making this special Datejust a gem for any collector.
