1972 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 1601) “Non-Luminous Dial”

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and beloved made by Rolex. Launched in 1945, it remains a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of superior quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a t-shirt. The DateJust would make a great start for a new vintage collector, and is always a great addition to an expanding collection.

Vintage Rolex DateJust Ad

We love the early Rolex Datejust for its simplicity and its understated sophistication and this example is no exception.  Worn with ease in any setting, the Datejust is a classic for a reason.
