Rolex Datejust Ref. 1603 Gray '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 1603, with a beautiful gray Buckley dial that changes color to olive tones depending on the light.

 

With a nice stainless steel fluted bezel, a beautiful dial with big printed roman numerals, and perfectly matching pumpkin patina lume plots, this flawless piece in excellent condition is the perfect daily beater.

 

Cased in a 36mm excluding the original screw-down crown, this all stainless steel case shows some marks due to light use but remains in a near mint condition. The waterproof case back also remains sharp with very few marks. The original acrylic crystal has no scratches at all.

 

It is suited on a Rolex 78360/558 folded links bracelet that remains in good condition.

 

This lovely and sough-after ‘Buckley’ Datejust is, indeed, one of the most beautiful ones out there.
