The Rolex Datejust is one of the most significant models in the history of watchmaking. First introduced in 1945, it was the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date on the dial. The Datejust quickly became a symbol of prestige and luxury, and has been worn by some of the world's most influential figures, including US President Eisenhower and Martin Luther King Jr. Over the years, Rolex has continued to refine the design of the Datejust, adding new features and innovations while staying true to its classic look and feel. Today, the Datejust remains one of the most popular and recognizable watches in the world, a testament to its timeless design and enduring appeal.

This four digit ref. 1601 might just be the quintessential vintage Datejust. We love the monochromatic appearance of this piece with silver dial, white gold bezel, blending into its stainless steel case and bracelet. It would undoubtedly pair with a plethora of strap options and be easily pairable with a almost any outfit. Remaining in excellent vintage condition, this example boasts a mint and rare non-luminous "linen" dial with beautifully a sharp bezel well preserved bracelet with light stretch that will fit and approximate 7.75 inch wrist.
