Rolex - 1964 Rolex 1601 Gilt Tropical Leopard Datejust

We simply can’t get enough of these eclectic tropical dial 16XX series Datejusts. This gilt dial has patina’d over the years from a black dial to something reminiscent of a spotted leopard. Its tones range from medium brown to dark mahogany.
We have a preference for dials that “eclipse” over to a tropical brown, as you get a range of nuance and tones that simply don’t exist on most tropical dials. The case is in excellent shape, and was recently polished to restore its sharp edge. A cyclops less true dome crystal sits and replaces the traditional top hat crystal. When we say this is a 1 of 1, we mean it.
