1963 Rolex Datejust Silver Dial St/WG Ref. 1601/4 (with Box & Paper)

A true vintage icon from Rolex’s golden era.

The Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 stands as one of the Crown’s most enduring designs, and this 1963 example captures the essence of the model perfectly. Crafted in stainless steel with a fluted white gold bezel, the 36 mm case offers elegant proportions that remain as relevant today as they were over sixty years ago.

The silver dial is original and full of character. Signed “Swiss” at 6 o’clock, it features beautifully patina’d luminous dots that have aged evenly over time, paired with matching dauphine hands. Rather than being overly restored, the watch retains an honest vintage appearance, giving it warmth and authenticity that seasoned collectors appreciate.

The watch is presented in excellent vintage condition. The case remains sharp, and the Jubilee bracelet is in very good condition, adding to the overall appeal and wearability. This is a Datejust that has been carefully preserved, offering both reliability and timeless style for daily use or collection.

Accompanied by its original accessories. Included are the original Rolex Warranty Certificate and Chronometer Bulletin, both housed in a period leather folio, along with the original box. Complete vintage Datejust sets from this era are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making this a particularly attractive and well-rounded example.
