Since Rolex introduced the Datejust in 1945, it has remained the go to dress watch that successful people aspire to own one day. The reference 1601 with its white gold fluted bezel, steel Oyster case, and Oyster bracelet is arguably one of the most popular and desirable vintage Datejust's for its simple yet elegant appearance and versatility. This clean silver linen dial  is an uncommon dial variant that is capitaving and beautiful,

This 1601 Silver Linen Dial Datejust is in overall great condition. The case is strong with thick lugs and no visible scratches. The silver linen dial is in clean condition and contrasts nicely with the white gold fluted bezel. The lume plots and hand set on the dial have aged to a nice cream color. The Jubilee bracelet has stretched through use over the years. The bracelet is period correct and is fitted with solid end links. It is marked "62150H" with end-links marked "555." The numbers between both sets of lugs are clearly visible. The case, dial, movement, crown, and bracelet are all signed by Rolex. This comes with its original Rolex box with a Japanese Rolex retailer sticker inside.

The movement was just serviced in November 2021 and is currently running at +8.1 seconds/day. The watch will come with a 3 month mechanical warranty from us.
