The Rolex Datejust reference 1601 is a fail-proof watch. It is a classic in the truest sense. Just like a certain beat or melody in music, there is something about the Datejust that remains appealing to all. It has been the backbone of Rolex’s catalog since 1945.

It can be worn with anything, on anyone, and anywhere. It’s one of those watches that is so comfortable to wear but makes the wearer stand a bit taller and straighter with the pride of wearing a quality, classic Swiss watch.

This excellent example is this classic model with a steel Oyster case, yellow-gold fluted bezel, and a Jubilee two-tone bracelet. Combined with a mother-of-pearl dial with diamond markers and the beautiful patina on the lume, this example shows the best of what a vintage Datejust can offer.
