Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 “Ghost Dial”

I absolutely love steel Rolex Datejusts. I recently wrote about them in our blog ‘Don't Sleep On This: The Simple Vintage Rolex Datejust In Steel’. I’m constantly amazed by the quality and differentiations of the dials that Rolex used in vintage Datejusts over the decades. I have found the Rolex Datejust to be one of the most versatile watches a person can have. This 1601 is no exception.

The watch dates to circa 1978 and features a 5.0M serial. It features a stunning grey “Ghost” pie-pan dial, with white Rolex text. It is also a “Sigma” dial. The case measures 36mm in diameter and is paired on a reference 62510H Jubilee bracelet, the clasp is a service replacement. The case is very nice and appears to be unpolished. The bracelet has been lightly polished. The dial has been re-lumed. The hands have not.

The watch does not come with a box or papers. It recently passed a water resistance test. We do not know the full service history but the watch is running well. 

PRICE: $8,900 (Item: SBUXYT4940)
