1970 Rolex Datejust White Gold Blue Wide Boy Dial Ref. 1601

White Gold Datejust       - The reference 1601 in white gold is probably one of the most understated watches from the Rolex line-up. Only who know, know. It is not only a very understated but also incredibly rare watch considering that most 1601s were made in stainless steel, a fair number in yellow gold and only a small number of pieces were manufactured in white and pink gold. We have here an astonishing example of a white gold 1601 dating back to 1970. The case is sharp and in healthy conditions showing only light wear from age considering it is a 52-years old watch. The bracelet is strong, showing moderate stretch from age. The dial is beautiful and very uncommon, a blue Non luminous Wide Boy dial with matching hands. With the growing demand on vintage Day Dates the quest for rare precious metal Datejusts has gone up too and we think this is a pretty rare bird.
