ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST STEEL & GOLD REF. 1601 CIRCA 1973
The Rolex Datejust is the ‘poster boy’ for Rolex. Globally recognised as one of the most popular watches in the world and certainly one of the most versatile. As a luxury watch it can be worn by anyone, for any occasion and at an achievable price point for a watch of its quality. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, since its release in 1945, has seen a multitude of different case materials from stainless steel to platinum, dial variations of every colour under the sun, set in an array of different styles, bezel variations and repeatedly improved mechanics. Whether you like the model or not, there is no denying that a Rolex Datejust is the definition of a ‘timeless watch’.
This particular reference is a 1601, it has a striking champagne pie-pan dial with gold hour markers and clear black type. The watch is fitted with gold hands, a date window at 3 o’clock and an 18ct gold bezel. The distinctive bezel is mounted on the 36mm stainless-steel oyster case which is in good condition although it does bare some signs of use such as hairline scratches and light dinks. It is paired with a stainless-steel and 18ct gold Rolex Jubilee bracelet. The bracelet is holding some slack and bears some general wear such as hairline scratches. Housed behind the screw down case back is an automatic Rolex movement which is running well.
