Rolex Datejust Ref.1601 Silver Dial
The Rolex Datejust is the brand's iconic long-selling model, featuring the "Datejust mechanism" that allows the date to change instantaneously.
This Ref.1601 is an antique model from 1970. Models from this era are equipped with a hacking feature (second-hand stop function), which is convenient for setting the time, combining vintage charm with practicality.
The dial is a silver dial with a beautiful sunburst finish. Due to natural aging, it has developed an exquisite patina that can appear like champagne gold depending on the angle and lighting. Of particular note is the condition of the luminous material; the dot lume on the hands and indices has aged beautifully into a rich cream yellow, perfectly harmonizing with the tone of the dial. Combined with the elegant luster of the 18k white gold bezel, this piece exudes an overwhelming allure and sense of luxury unique to this specific watch.
This is a popular item that sold out in just 14 days when it was last listed. We have miraculously received it back in stock, preserved in the same pristine condition by its previous owner. With its ideal vintage aging, including the patina on the hands and luminous markers, it is a truly superb piece.
It is powered by the Cal.1570, widely regarded as one of the finest movements in Rolex history. Renowned for its durability and precision, it can be enjoyed for a lifetime with regular maintenance. The large 6.1mm crown offers excellent operability, and the coronet engraving remains sharp and clear.
We confidently recommend this piece to those looking for a "lifetime" antique Rolex, especially those who appreciate the specific aging of hands and luminous markers.
