Vintage 1977 Rolex 1601 fitted with the Sigma dial
$0.00
In recent years, the popularity and desire for vintage Rolex watches has skyrocketed and this is no longer just for the sports models such as the Submariner and GMT, but also the true classic Rolex watches, such as this stylish vintage Rolex 1601.
This iconic model was made in 1977 and is the traditional 36mm case made in stainless steel and is fitted with the white gold bezel as well as the Sigma dial.
First a bit about the sigma dial. Looking at the bottom of this dial, you will note that on each side of the T Swiss T, there is the Greek letter, sigma which can be seen here – Ó. What this subtle yet important mark designates, is that the hands and index markers are in solid gold. Used by approximately seven watch companies in Switzerland from 1970, it was among its main reason to signify when gold parts were on the dial to subsequently add to both the financial and intrinsic value of a watch.
It is this small but important feature that separates this vintage Rolex from many others and will always be a fantastic conversation starter.
Inside is the 26 jewelled automatic Rolex calibre 1570 that has been serviced, runs great and comes with our twelve month warranty and is fitted on a replacement Rolex Jubilee band that dates from 2003.
In wonderful condition with a look and style that has never gone out of fashion, this is a brilliant vintage Rolex with history and style.
