The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ref. 1601 is a landmark of the Datejust family, one of the first watches to combine a date window with the self-winding Perpetual movement and a waterproof Oyster case. Dating from around 1969, this example carries that heritage in a classic steel form that has remained popular with collectors for decades. It is a versatile and characterful vintage Rolex for everyday wear.

The silver sunburst dial is set with applied baton indices and carries a date aperture at 3 o'clock, a Rolex coronet, and "Oyster Perpetual Datejust" and "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" text. The 36mm stainless steel case has a fluted bezel and a screw-down case back and is presented on a stainless steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet. The dial appears clean, with light wear to the bezel and bracelet links.
