Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today, we have a tropical dial on an all-gold vintage Datejust "Ref.1600/8"!!

Rolex Datejust Tropical Mirror All Tritium
Ref.1600/8 Serial.18 (manufactured around 1968)
Cal.1570
Accessories: Warranty card
SOLD OUT!!

Today's introduction is a vintage Datejust "Ref.1600/8" which was manufactured from the 1960s to the late 1970s.

While all-gold Datejusts are rarer than Day-Dates, this particular model is an even rarer smooth bezel all-gold model.

At the time, the fluted bezel Ref.1601 was mainstream and highly popular, which is why this model is now extremely rare and difficult to obtain in the market.

While a four-digit all-gold Datejust with a smooth bezel is already rare, this particular model features a mirror dial that has undergone an intense tropical transformation, making it incredibly cool!

What do you think?!

Isn't this color amazing?!

This is truly an impactful, exquisite tropical mirror!

Tropical dials vary in their degree of transformation, but honestly, it's rare to come across a piece that has transformed this intensely brown.

As you can see, the dial condition is excellent.

Although there are some natural color irregularities, it remains in beautiful condition even under a loupe.

Mirror dials usually have some scratches, so a piece in such beautiful condition is undoubtedly rare!

The mirror's luster is also top-notch, showing a truly beautiful shine.

The luminous material on the indexes is also in excellent condition with almost no loss!!

These uniquely shaped indexes also have a great character. They sparkle and blend exquisitely with the tropical mirror.

While there are minor scratches commensurate with its age, the case condition is superb!!

As you can see, the mid-case is in good condition without excessive polishing.

The lugs are thick, making this an excellent, well-defined piece!!

Wrist shot!! So cool!!

This is an intensely tropical mirror, so impactful it looks orange rather than brown!

*The leather strap and buckle are aftermarket.

Vintage Datejust "Ref.1600/8 '68 All Tritium"

This is an exceptionally cool piece with a smooth bezel and a super tropical dial!

The dial, luminous material, and case condition are all excellent, highly recommended!!

Overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop!!

Such a rare piece is an opportunity you seize when you find it.

For customers looking for an absolutely stunning mirror dial,

Please consider it.
