Rolex Datejust ref.1601 The Rolex Datejust reference 1601 in two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold is an iconic model that epitomizes the blend of elegance and robustness for which Rolex is known. As a classic Datejust from the 1960s and 1970s, the 1601 showcases the versatility and timeless appeal that has made the Datejust one of Rolex’s most enduring and beloved models. The two-tone construction of the 1601 combines Rolex’s sturdy stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, with 14k or 18k yellow gold, which adds a touch of luxury and warmth to the design. The yellow gold fluted bezel is one of the watch’s most distinctive features, catching the light with its finely ridged surface and giving the watch a hint of vintage charm. With a 36mm diameter, the case strikes a balance between presence and wearability, making it comfortable and suitable for a wide variety of wrist sizes and styles. The dial on the 1601 is a work of elegance, available in several color options, but often seen in classic champagne, silver, or black. Each version is adorned with simple hour markers and slender hands, all crafted in yellow gold to match the bezel. The date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, is a practical and instantly recognizable feature that improves readability. The lack of clutter on the dial ensures easy legibility while embodying the refined design for which Rolex is famed. At the heart of the Datejust 1601 is the Rolex Caliber 1570, a self-winding mechanical movement that is both reliable and highly accurate. The Caliber 1570 was an exceptional movement of its time, featuring a smooth sweep second hand and a 48-hour power reserve. Though it does not have a quick-set date function, the movement is known for its robustness and has become a symbol of vintage Rolex engineering. The Caliber 1570 is also a chronometer-certified movement, meeting Rolex’s high standards for precision and performance.
