Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 18k Blue Mosaic Unpolished

SOLD

Straight Facts

Some describe the Rolex Datejust as a perfect watch, and personally I tend to agree. They have ideal proportions, unbeatable quality, and most of all they are just gorgeous! But this piece is much more than your typical Datejust; its a rare example that is cased in 18k yellow gold and features one of the spectacular dials ever produced: Blue Mosaic. They are rare in any case, but when they are found in 36mm examples they are true wonders. The unpolished and rare 18k yellow gold fluted bezel case is sharp and thick featuring its original factory proportions and a wonderful light patina from years of being untouched. Not to mention the original yellow gold jubilee bracelet is unpolished and tight. This is a truly special piece and I couldn't be happier to offer it in the Watch Shop!

*Some marks or spots on the dial are reflections or dust on the crystal and are due to high intensity strobe lighting used while photographing. They are not actually on the watch or visible in natural lighting.

"As collectors themselves, Oliver and Clarke are on a mission to make buying vintage watches as painless as possible."

"The company focuses on good prices for its pieces, elite customer service and full transparency."

"The appointment-only space is inviting, with comfortable seating areas and exposed brick walls."

From Rolex & Patek Philippe, to Cartier & Audemars Piguet. As collectors first, we love the small details that separate the Submariner from Daytona and Calatrava from Royal Oak. This is why you'll find our curated assortment spans decades of generations of models and brands. We believe that watches don't just tell time, they tell history - and life is too short to wear a boring watch.
