We are proud to offer this elegant vintage Rolex Datejust 36mm ref. 1603 from 1975, a timeless example of classic Rolex watchmaking from the 1970s.

This particular example features a classic silver dial, giving the watch a clean, refined and distinctly vintage appearance.

The 36mm stainless-steel case is paired with the characteristic engine-turned bezel associated with the Datejust ref. 1603, giving the watch a slightly sportier appearance than the traditional fluted-bezel Datejust.

The silver dial is complemented by applied hour markers and matching hands, while the characteristic date display at 3 o’clock is fitted with Rolex’s signature Cyclops magnification lens.

The watch is offered as watch only, without its original box or papers.

It shows normal signs of previous use consistent with its age, including light scratches, marks and general cosmetic wear. Overall, the watch presents very well while retaining the authentic character expected from a Rolex dating from 1975.
