Made and registered around 1977, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 1601 features a 36mm case, silver dial and iconic fluted white gold bezel. This is a genuine vintage Rolex from the late 1970s, presented with its original box and insert, along with paperwork from The Watch Register confirming the watch has not been reported lost, stolen or associated with fraud. The bracelet is a comfortable 20-link example which should fit most gents’ wrists. This is a vintage watch and it has been worn and enjoyed as one. There are signs of age and wear throughout, including some sagging to the bracelet, marks around the outer edge of the crystal and wear to the bezel. Our watchmaker estimates the movement is running at around +9 seconds per day and, as far as they can see, all parts are original with nothing aftermarket added or replaced. None of this takes away from what is a very nice vintage Rolex, but we want to be completely transparent about its condition. Yes, this is an old Rolex. Yes, it has wear. But yes, this is also a genuine Rolex at an exceptionally attractive price. We price all of our watches based on both market value and condition, and the price of this example reflects exactly that. If you want to preserve its honest vintage character, it is ready for a new home as it stands. If you would prefer to bring it back closer to its former glory, we can also arrange replacement crystal, bracelet re-pinning, a full clean, polish, refurbishment or servicing at additional cost. For now, we’ve chosen to leave this beautiful Datejust true to its character and let its next owner decide where to take it.
