Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust with Fluted Bezel and Jubilee Bracelet
This is a vintage two-tone Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wristwatch, likely a reference 16013 or 16233 based on the aesthetic. The watch features a stainless steel case with a 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and a champagne-colored dial. The dial is adorned with applied gold baton hour markers and the iconic Rolex crown logo at the 12 o'clock position. A date window is visible at 3 o'clock, magnified by a 'Cyclops' lens on the crystal. The watch is fitted with a two-tone Jubilee bracelet, showing significant signs of wear and 'stretch' in the links, which is common for aged Rolex bracelets of this style. Regarding condition, the piece shows heavy signs of use and visible damage. Significant grime and patina have built up between the links and on the case edges. Notably, the winding crown appears to be extended/unscrewed or potentially damaged, aligning with the user's note that it requires repair. The crystal shows surface scratches, and the steel lugs exhibit numerous abrasions. The dial printing includes 'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' and 'Swiss Made' at the bottom. This classic dress watch represents mid-to-late 20th-century luxury horology, but its value is currently inhibited by the poor mechanical and cosmetic state.
