The classic Datejust never goes out of style. This reference 1601, with its sharp fluted Yellow gold bezel and breath taking anthracite dial, is in fantastic condition and looks just as cool today as it did 50 years ago, maybe even a little better as the dial has started to fade ever so slightly.
The Datejust is the bread and butter of Rolex watches. These watches are chronometer certified, waterproof, and are have near-perfect aesthetic balance.
The reference 1601 you see here features a inedible deep anthracite grey dial with applied wide-stick gilt indexes and full lume plots.
Keeping this classy the case and fluted bezel are all constructed out of 18K yellow gold, needless to say they are in pristine condition.
The Datejust continues to be a Rolex staple and has the ability to transition through the decades. This one is no different.
