The Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 is a timeless vintage classic, dating to circa 1960 and representing one of Rolex's most iconic configurations.
This 36mm model features a stainless steel Oyster case accented by an 18K yellow gold fluted bezel — a signature combination that defines the traditional two-tone Datejust aesthetic. The warm champagne sunburst dial is complemented by applied stick hour markers and Rolex’s signature date display at 3 o’clock with Cyclops magnification, offering elegant vintage character and excellent legibility.
Powering the watch is the legendary Rolex Caliber 1570 automatic movement, celebrated for its durability, reliability, and precision. The Plexiglass crystal remains period-correct, preserving the authentic mid-century aesthetic collectors appreciate.
Currently fitted with a light blue leather strap (aftermarket), this Datejust presents a unique blend of classic vintage Rolex design and contemporary styling contrast. A refined and versatile timepiece suited for collectors or everyday wear.
