1968 Datejust 1601 9k Rose Gold Two-Tone

A lovely vintage Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 dating to circa 1968, crafted in stainless steel and 9k rose gold for the British market. The 36mm Oyster case is paired with a fluted rose gold bezel and matching two-tone Rolex Jubilee bracelet.

The silvered dial has a great vintage look, simply configured with applied baton hour markers and matching hands, luminous hour plots, and a date aperture at 3 o’clock beneath the Cyclops magnifier.

Fitted with its period Rolex folded-link Jubilee bracelet stamped 6251H-9, the bracelet has the naturally light and flexible construction characteristic of these early Jubilees. The watch is powered by the Rolex caliber 1570 automatic movement.

The silvered dial and warm tone of the 9k rose gold give this early Datejust a distinctive look, especially paired with its period folded-link Jubilee bracelet.
