Hi all,

For sale is my beautiful Rolex datejust 1601.

It has a very beautiful grey sigma dial.
It is half matte and half sunburst.

The hands and dial have its original tritium.

The case is very sharp and so is the bezel.
The bezel is made from white gold.
Ref number and serial number are clearly visible between the lugs.
Serial number: 343**** (1973)

The datewheel has the correct open 6 and open 9.

The bracelet has no stretch, which is very rare for these type of bracelets.
It doesn't have a date in the clasp which is correct for a 1973 bracelet.

The watch is keeping excellent time.
The service history is unknown to me.

My price is 4750 euro including world wide shipping.
Payment via bank transfer is preferred. Paypal is possible aswell.

If you want to buy the watch or have any questions, please send me a message.

Here is some feedback from previous sales on this forum:

Great DJ!

Uncommon to see lugs that full and sharp on a 16xx series Datejust.

You missed the WHITE GOLD BEZEL. It would he14-karat, or 18-karat, depending on country the watch was retailed in. Nice!

Yes you are right. Rolex fluted bezels are only made in gold, this one is white gold indeed.

Great detail i forgot to mention. Thanks.

All model 1601 Datejusts have solid gold bezels. You didn't miss anything in your previous description. 👍

Is this an OM dial?

also interesting these dials normally have the crenellated bezel, not the gold fluted.

What do you mean by OM?

does it state “OM” on either side of Swiss Made?

It is a sigma dial so it has the sigma sign next to 't swiss made t' on both sides.
Which is correct for a DJ 1601 from the early 70s.

It does not say OM. I never heard of Rolex dials marked OM to be honest.
I think you are mistaking it with the sigma sign.

5125 euro!

The jubilee bracelet comes with 22 links.
So it is complete and in full size.

Final reduction: 5000 euro shipped

If it doesn't sell for this price, i will keep on wearing this gorgeous datejust and try again in 6-12 months in hopefully a less slow market.
