Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 1601 - 1969












Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 1601 - 1969
Here we have a gorgeous vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 1601 up for grabs.
Featuring a classic 36mm case, folded link Jubilee bracelet, silver non-lume dial with gorgeous applied markers, it makes for a versatile and elegant piece, and one it that is now starting to become extremely popular with collectors and those wanting to take their first steps into the vintage Rolex scene.
This particular example had a full overhaul by Rolex Japan in 2005 and presents in excellent vintage condition. Original Tritium pie-pan dial is in lovely condition, as are the markers. Hands are service items, as is the crown. Plexiglass was also changed during service.
Case has been polished in it's life, but retains very thick and even lugs. Numbers clearly visible between the lugs. See images for full condition details.
Bracelet is a 6251H with 55 endlinks which is era-correct, and has 18 links. Shows stretch.
Unknown service history since the Rolex overhaul. Winds very smoothly, and appears to be keeping very good time. Movement is very clean.
Comes with watch and faded service receipt from Rolex.
They don't come up in this condition and spec very often - don't miss your chance.
