The Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 is a quintessential vintage model that perfectly captures the spirit of Rolex design in the mid-20th century. This particular example features a 36mm stainless steel and yellow gold two-tone case, enhanced by the signature fluted bezel that gives the Datejust its unmistakable presence. The standout detail is its rare matte grey Sigma dial, a highly sought-after configuration denoted by the small σ symbols at 6 o’clock, signifying the use of gold in the hour markers. The elegant combination of grey and yellow gold delivers a sophisticated contrast, making it a true connoisseur’s piece.

Powered by the automatic Caliber 1570, the 1601 offers reliability and precision while retaining the vintage charm that modern collectors treasure. The addition of the classic Oyster or Jubilee bracelet in two-tone steel and gold further enhances its character, balancing sportiness with refinement. With its understated yet distinctive dial and iconic Datejust proportions, this reference stands out as both a timeless daily wearer and a coveted vintage treasure for those who appreciate Rolex’s history and subtle design nuances.
