The Datejust is by far one of the most iconic models from Rolex’s line-up. In 1945, the flagship Datejust was created to mark the company’s 40th anniversary, which also directly resulted in the creation of the world’s first self-winding wristwatch with a date indication. They also introduced the iconic 5-piece Jubilee bracelet, which is still seen as one of the best bracelets ever made.
The reference 1601 is the most iconic references of them all due to its wide variety of configurations and timeless design features. The 16xx series didn’t only pave the way, but it showcased that good design will stand the test of time. The 1601 is distinguished by its pie pan dials, which are widely appreciated by collectors.
The overall configuration is something that will attract you at first sight, but let’s not forget the most important factor. The condition, which is amazing in this case. The silver sunburst dial is spotless, beautifully aged and perfectly in tact, just as all the lume plots. It’s always a pleasure to offer a well-preserved icon like this Datejust 1601.
The watch is fully serviced by our watchmakers and comes with a 1-year warranty!
