Today we are introducing a vintage Datejust manufactured from around 1960 to around 1979!

The Ref.1601 is a classic vintage model with an attractive dial that is stepped down on the outer edge and a rolled Jubilee bracelet.

It exudes a calm atmosphere unique to vintage watches, and it is recommended because it is lighter than current models and can be worn effortlessly.

The most attractive feature of this particular piece is undoubtedly its mirror dial!!

Its beautiful mirror-like luster is captivating, making it a rare dial among vintage models, with only a limited number available.

Furthermore, this particular piece features a very cool tropical mirror dial that has changed to brown!! While mirror dials for the 1601 are rare to begin with, a tropicalized mirror dial is even more valuable!

Important point!! The luster of the dial is still well-preserved, making it a brilliant mirror dial that is rarely seen.

The dial condition is superb, maintaining a beautiful state even under magnification!!

Such a top-condition dial is undoubtedly rare!!

The condition is good right down to the stepped outer edge, and although there is a loss of luminous material at the 4 o'clock position on the indices, the rest is in excellent condition!

The luminous material is all tritium.

The hands have a natural aging unique to vintage watches, but this is also part of the vintage charm!

Oh, it's so beautiful!

It's a supremely cool dial with a calm tropical mirror color combined with gold lettering!

Although there are signs of use, the case and bracelet are both solid and in good condition.

As you can see, the middle case is in good condition with no excessive finishing.

The bracelet comes with a rolled Jubilee!

The buckle engraving is from the 4th quarter of 1970, which matches the age.

Although there is some stretching, it fits snugly when worn on the wrist!
