A guide for this piece: about $1,145, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, reference 16013, in steel and yellow gold with a fluted bezel and a champagne dial, on a Jubilee bracelet and shown with a Rolex pouch.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and the Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first wristwatch to show the date in a window on the dial.
Reference 16013 pairs a steel case with a fluted bezel in 18-carat yellow gold. The champagne dial has a fine linen texture and a date window at three, and the calibre 3035 winds itself. The Jubilee bracelet alternates steel and gold links and closes with a folding clasp.
The case is 36 mm (1.42 in) across, and the bracelet fits a wrist of about 20 cm (7.9 in). The dial markers have discoloured with age and the bracelet has stretched a little; the body is otherwise in very good order. It comes with a Rolex pouch.
