The popularity and desirability for vintage Rolex watches has increased exponentially in recent years, and here is classic vintage Rolex 1601 from 1972 that is in exceptional condition including the band which is still incredibly tight and shows so little wear over its life.
Measuring the iconic 36mm in size plus the screw down crown, the dial is so nice and clean and easy to read day or night.
Inside is the 26 jewelled automatic Rolex calibre 1570 which was the upgraded version of the earlier 1560 calibre now with two notable difference - first a higher beat rate of 19,800 bph, and secondly it had a hacking feature which was able to stop the second hand when the crown is pulled out. Fully serviced and running perfectly, it also comes with our twelve month warranty.
The stainless steel Rolex Jubilee band is not only dated for being made in the 3rd quarter of 1972, but is also in exceptional condition and will amaze you when you see it. With no flex or stretch in the band, the bracelet is as good as you will ever find on a vintage Rolex, meaning that you can wear this daily with no fear of it breaking.
The Rolex Datejust 1601 has gone down in history as one of the most iconic watches, and this one is just perfect.
