It is far older than its bigger and attention-hogging Submariner brethren. The Datejust was Rolex’s idea of the perfect everyday watch. The robustness of the Oyster case, combined with the elegance of an Oyster Perpetual. The ‘4 digit’ series of Datejust are particularly attractive for their pie-pan dials which offer a layer of three-dimensionality to the dials that went away with the advent of quickset date and 5-digit Datejusts. These early Datejusts were available as the 1601, with a fluted white gold bezel, or the 1603, with an engine-turned steel bezel. The 4-Digit Datejusts were also the first series to become available with a myriad of dial colors and case and bracelet materials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular piece is a Reference 1601 from circa 1968 and from 5-feet away, \u003cem\u003eappears\u003c\/em\u003e to be \u003cem\u003ejust a two-tone Datejust. \u003c\/em\u003eIn fact, this is something far more special. While indeed a two-tone Datejust, this example is constructed out of stainless steel and rose gold. The 'fluted' bezel, signed crown, the dial furniture, and the handset are all rose gold. It comes to us in fantastic overall condition, with a professionally-refurbished case and strong definitional on the 'fluted' bezel. Inside, the silver dial retains its 'sunburst' finishing with evenly patinated Tritium plots and applied 'wide boy' indices with a matching handset.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike any Datejust this could easily be your one watch...
