ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST W/ GUARANTEE PAPERS REF. 1603 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 1603, it has a striking black dial with silver ‘stick’ hour markers, lume plots and clear white type. The watch is fitted with silver hands, a date window at 3 o’clock and stainless steel bezel. The distinctive bezel is mounted on the 36mm stainless-steel oyster case which has remained in good condition although showing signs of a previous polish. It is paired with a stainless-steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet. The bracelet is in good condition although holding a little slack and some hairline scratches. The plexi has some light tarnishing. Housed behind the screw down case back is an automatic Rolex cal. 1570 movement which is running well. This watch comes with its Rolex guarantee papers and associated service papers.
