1970 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 1601) Black "Confetti" 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.
The multi-colored "confetti" dials are coveted among collectors, not only for the sheer rarity of these dials but also for the subtle yet vibrant details that are truly unique among Rolex dials as a whole. The term "confetti" is in reference to the compilation of individual colors that make up the single base color of the dial, creating a colorful and speckled dial appearance when observed up close.

CASE & BRACELET
The impressive case is in remarkable condition, showing thick, even lugs, which retain crisp finishing throughout. The case exhibits nominal evidence of being polished in the past while showing honest signs of gentle wear. The white gold fluted bezel is in exceptional condition, featuring very crisp edges and finishing with almost no signs of use present. The original Rolex 6251H rolled-link Jubilee bracelet with 55 end pieces is stamped 1/71 and retains 21 links that show minimal stretch for the style and age of the bracelet. The bracelet will fit up to a 7.25-inch wrist.
DIAL & HANDS
The original and virtually flawless matte black "confetti" dial is truly exceptional. The "confetti" of the textured matte black dial is mostly comprised of red and green, with some blue and yellow speckling featured as well. The tritium lume plots have taken on a handsome eggshell coloration and display no degradation when inspected under UV light. The original tritium hands match the dial with no degradation present under UV light inspection. The metallic date wheel is original with "open" 6's and 9's.
ACCESSORIES
