Why the Rolex 1601 is so special within the Datejust line

The Rolex 1601 is an icon of the 1960s and 1970s and is known as one of the most beloved Datejust models. It marks a transitional phase in the evolution of the Datejust line: modern enough for everyday wear, classic enough for formal occasions. The combination of a stainless steel case with a white gold bezel, along with the delicate Jubilee bracelet, makes the watch a pleasure to wear and admire. Unlike many modern models, the 1601 still possesses a rare charm. Each piece features unique patinas in the dial and indices. And that is precisely what makes it so sought after by enthusiasts.

How to make sure your Rolex 1601 is genuine

No problem. Make an appointment at our showroom in Rijswijk and see the watch up close, with personalized advice.

Typical features of a Rolex 1601 from the 1960s and 1970s

The Rolex Datejust 1601 was produced between approximately 1960 and 1978. Recognizable elements include:

• The fluted white gold bezel that sparkles in any light
• The 36mm steel Oyster case: robust, yet elegant
• The automatic Caliber 1570, a workhorse in Rolex history
• The characteristic date function with “Cyclops” magnification
• A rich variety of dials, from silver to champagne-colored

We often see charming aging, such as light discoloration or a subtle “spotted” effect on the dial, details that make each 1601 unique.
