1971 Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 Blue 'Buckley' Dial

First released in 1945, it marked forty years of Rolex timepieces. Today, it holds a spot in even the most exclusive collections, and remains one of the most popular timepieces among both men and women.

Loved for its sporty yet elegant design, the present-day Datejust is available in varied sizes, many case and bezel metals, and with seemingly unlimited dials.

Here is offered a classic design Rolex Datejust, the reference 1601, with beautiful, ultra-rare and impressive vivid blue ‘Buckley’ dial.

With the white gold fluted bezel, the beautiful and minty blue dial with big white printed roman numerals, silver tritium hands and perfectly matching yellow-orange big lume plots, this flawless piece is in excellent condition.

Cased in a 36mm excluding the original screw-down crown, this all stainless steel case wears perfectly well. The case remains in thick condition showing some signs of wear.

It is suited on its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet 62523H stamped 2/71 with 58 end links.
