1977 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 1601) Satin Silver Dial
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made. This classic dress watch has been produced by the Swiss luxury watchmaker since 1945 and has remained a timeless classic that is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust was designed for everyday wear, and its sleek and elegant design makes it one of the most universally loved watches for both men and women.
This beautiful Rolex ref. 1601 from 1977 features a satin silver dial, which is both stunning and uncommon, making a great start for a new vintage collector or a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex Datejust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication. Perfectly worn in any setting from formal to casual.

The excellent case retains thick and symmetrical lugs that show light evidence of being previously polished and honest signs of use. The white gold fluted bezel retains crisp edges and nominal wear.

The original satin silver "pie pan" dial is in lovely vintage condition, displaying a charming warm color tone with no damage present in the dial itself. Under UV light inspection, all of the lume plots remain partially intact, with degradation, and feature an eggshell patina. The tritium hands are early tritium service units and match the dial perfectly. The metallic date wheel is original with "open" 6's and 9's.
