SOLD OUT

A fantastic condition 1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, reference 1600 aka "smooth bezel", featuring a striking and extremely rare in absolute gorgeous condition grey dial with perfect lume plots and matching hands. This classic timepiece is known for its timeless elegance and versatile style. This example comes on an original stainless steel Rolex oyster bracelet complementing the stainless steel case beautifully, making it suitable for both formal and casual occasions. 

The 1970s marked a significant era in the history of the Rolex Datejust, showcasing a blend of classic design and evolving technology. During this period, Rolex offered several notable references that have since become iconic among collectors. The reference 1600 featured a sleek stainless steel case with a smooth bezel, appealing to those who favored a minimalist aesthetic. The 1603, also crafted in stainless steel, stood out with its engine-turned bezel, adding a textured, utilitarian look to the timeless design. Meanwhile, the reference 1601 introduced an element of luxury, combining a stainless steel case with an 18k white gold fluted bezel—an elegant detail that became a signature of the Datejust line. All three references were powered by the reliable Caliber 1570 movement and typically featured the distinctive pie-pan dial, acrylic crystal, and the Cyclops date magnifier, solidifying their place in Rolex history.
