History 

The Rolex Datejust 16013 with a Tapestry Dial is a sought-after vintage model from the iconic Datejust line. Introduced in the late 1970s and produced through the 1980s, the 16013 is a two-tone model made of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. It features the automatic Rolex Calibre 3035 movement, which offers a quickset date function, a notable upgrade for its time.

The "Tapestry" dial is a standout feature, characterised by its textured vertical lines, which add depth and a unique aesthetic compared to the more traditional flat dials. This design element became quite popular in the 1980s, adding a touch of sophistication and individuality to the classic Datejust look.

Collectors appreciate the 16013 Tapestry Dial for its vintage appeal, the combination of steel and gold, and the distinctive textured dial, which has become less common in modern Rolex designs.
