Rolex Datejust Reference 1601 in 14K Gold

I absolutely love the Rolex Datejust. I recently wrote about them in our blog ‘Don't Sleep On This: The Simple Vintage Rolex Datejust In Steel’. I’m constantly amazed by the quality and differentiations of the dials that Rolex used in vintage Datejusts over the decades.

This reference 1601 is very cool in that the case and bracelet are both 14K yellow gold. The bracelet is interestingly not made in the US, but possibly was created in South America. The dial is very attractive with angular “doorstop” hour markers at 6 and 9 o’clock. The watch dates to 1966 and features a 1.4M serial. The case has been lightly polished.

It does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history of this watch, but it is running well.
