A Note from the Appraiser

There are signs of wear and scratches from use, but the case is a thick, solid, and fine example. The dial is a mirror dial that has aged into a strong tropical patina; it retains a top-level gloss, is in excellent condition, and has a superb atmosphere. This is a gem packed with the charm of an early model, featuring a mirror dial, wedge-shaped indices, and alpha hands, so please consider it if you are looking for one. The watch has been overhauled at our partner workshop.

*The spring bars, leather strap, and buckle are aftermarket parts.

Product Background

Introduced in 1945, the Datejust is a quintessential long-selling model from Rolex. The Ref. 1601/8 is a vintage model crafted in 18K yellow gold, exuding a classical sense of luxury. This particular piece features a rare tropical mirror dial that has acquired a unique hue due to aging, combining a character absent in contemporary models with the allure of a true collector's item.

Model features

This is a quintessential 1960s Datejust model, powered by the automatic "Cal. 1560" movement. It features a date display and a Cyclops lens, offering a perfect balance of practicality and legibility. Beyond the sophisticated luster of its 18K yellow gold, its greatest appeal lies in the "tropical" mirror dial, which has developed a one-of-a-kind appearance over time—making this a timepiece that truly captures the essence of vintage Rolex.

Product design

This piece features a striking design that combines an 18K yellow gold case with a lustrous tropical mirror dial. It is defined by the unique brown hue developed over time and the beautiful sheen characteristic of a mirror dial. The gold fluted bezel and leather strap further enhance its classical aesthetic, making this a timepiece that offers the profound character unique to vintage watches.
