Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Steel/Gold 36mm 1601 - 1969
Here we have a gorgeous vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 1601 up for grabs.
Featuring a classic 36mm steel case with yellow gold bezel, steel and gold Jubilee bracelet, champagne linen dial with gorgeous applied markers, and is powered by the venerable 1570 movement. 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 world of vintage Rolex.
This particular example dates from 1969 and presents in excellent vintage condition. The flawless linen pie-pan dial is a genuine service replacement item. Hands look to be original non-lume. Plexiglass is in wonderful condition with only very light marks. Correct date wheel with open 6's and 9's.
Original case has been polished, but retains plenty of life. Numbers clearly visible between the lugs. See images for full condition details.
Bracelet is a later D-Code 62523H with 455 endlinks and contains 17 links. Very minor stretch.
Unknown service history. Winds very smoothly, and is keeping COSC time currently.
Comes as watch only.
These linen dials are one of the coolest from the Rolex back catalogue, and are gaining quite a following. Grab one while you can.
