Read moreThis Rolex Datejust, reference 1601, is in great condition. It was produced in 1963. The caliber 1560 movement was fully serviced by our watchmaker and is running perfectly. The brushing on the lugs is nice and even and the lugs are thick. The folded jubilee bracelet has some stretch, which is to be expected considering the age of the watch. The clasp is the earlier model. The special no lume dial (made for the asian market) is in good condition with a light spotty patina. The dial has rare markers, shaped like an arrow. The date wheel has the original open 6 and 9. It furthermore features the Swiss signature at the bottom. The hands are no lume alpha hands, which were only used during a short period till aprox. 1965. The 18k white gold fluted "coin" bezel is also in good condition.
