1967 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 1603) With Double Punched Papers
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and most beloved Rolex watches ever made, even though the Datejust was launched in 1945 it has remained a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a tee-shirt. The Datejust would make a great start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection.
This specific 1967 Datejust Ref. 1603 retains its original silver "Pie-Pan" dial, original engine turned bezel, and comes with double punched papers. This piece would make a great start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex Datejust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication. This specific example just received a complete overhaul and is running flawlessly!
