Arguably one of the most quintessential references of Rolex’s offering since its development, the Datejust remains as an iconic, influential and elegant series - the first Rolex with an automatic date function. The Datejust has screened numerous appearances in movies and sports perhaps due to its proportion, quality and price.

Reference 1601 bears almost two decades production period with incredible variety of variations in bezel, case, crystal, hands, signs and bracelet etc. Rare dial iterations in stone, timber and even enamel still remains significantly in-demand among collectors’ hands. Notable examples are given by UAE and Omani Khanjar with double signages.

Here we have a well-aged two-tone Datejust in ‘Sigma’ brushed gold dial and two-tone bracelet. The beauty of this dial is to be experienced under sunny days with the dial revealing shades of brown, beige and gold in a vertically brushed pattern, in comparison to the variation with a plain golden dial. The bracelet is well-worn and shows significant stretch, with 2 straps and modern Rolex pouch on complimentary offer.

Overall, a classic, timeless and elegant piece for those who wonder.
