Rolex Wide Boy Rolex Cup Guards Polo Club Windsor Datejust Ref 1601 Non-Luminous

This is a special Rolex “Wide Boy” Datejust reference 1601 that was likely presented by the then Prince of Wales and now King Charles to the winner at the 1978 Guards Polo Club. It features an attractive and uncommon non-luminous dial which was probably chosen due to the rough nature of the sport. The case has been lightly polished but is attractive. It measures 36mm in diameter (43mm lug-to-lug). The watch has a 3.3M serial number dating the watch to circa 1973. It is paired on a Rolex Jubilee bracelet with 55 end links dating to 1970.

We do not know the service history, but it is running well. The watch comes does not come with box and papers. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.

PRICE: $9,900 (Item SBUXYT5038)
