This classic 36mm Rolex Datejust, Model 1601, is a beautiful example of vintage Rolex craftsmanship enhanced with luxurious modern upgrades. Manufactured in 1970, this timepiece features the iconic two-tone construction of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, offering a timeless look that remains in excellent condition for its age.
The upgraded custom Mother of Pearl dial is adorned with shimmering diamond markers, giving the watch a refined, elegant sparkle. Framing the dial is an upgraded custom diamond bezel, adding a layer of brilliance while maintaining the watch’s distinguished vintage character. The acrylic crystal preserves the authenticity of the era while providing clear visibility of the dial beneath.
Powered by an automatic movement, this Datejust includes the signature date window at the 3 o’clock position, blending practicality with classic style. The Jubilee bracelet, with its comfortable and iconic design, shows some stretch typical for its age but still wears snugly and securely on the wrist. Very minor scratches are present on the buckle and case back, consistent with light, careful use over the decades.
This watch is presented in a generic green watch box and comes backed by our lifetime warranty (see terms), offering peace of mind and lasting value. An appraisal is available upon request, including model and serial details for documentation and insurance.
Whether you're a collector seeking a vintage Rolex with tasteful upgrades or looking for a unique, elegant everyday piece, this Rolex Datejust blends heritage, beauty, and enduring craftsmanship.
