The Watch

This 1965 vintage Rolex Datejust 1601 in stainless steel and yellow gold is presented on the iconic Jubilee bracelet with a crisp white dial. This classic 36mm model is defined by its elegant fluted bezel, date aperture at 3 o’clock with Cyclops lens, and timeless two-tone finish. Whilst the bracelet exhibits considerable stretch, typical of the era, the white dial is in excellent condition for its 61 years. The clasp appears to be a replacement from 1985.

The combination of steel and gold, together with the Jubilee bracelet, creates the unmistakable look that has made the vintage Datejust one of the most sought-after luxury watches in the world.

Dimensions: 36mm wide, 12mm thick, 43mm lug-to-lug.

Key Brand Information

Rolex is one of the most respected names in Swiss watchmaking, renowned for precision, innovation and enduring design. Introduced in 1945, the Datejust became one of the brand’s most important creations as the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch with an automatically changing date display on the dial.  For collectors and enthusiasts alike, a vintage two-tone Rolex Datejust offers a strong yet attainable connection to the brand’s long-standing legacy of craftsmanship and understated luxury.

Authenticity, Condition, and Guarantees

All items have been inspected for authenticity, and are guaranteed as such. As this is a pre-owned watch, signs of wear consistent with age and previous use should be expected. Buyers of watches should also recognise that maintenance and treatment appropriate to the watch in question are required to protect time-keeping and condition. There is a 6 month function guarantee for watches costing £1000 or more. Water resistance is not guaranteed; even watches originally waterproof may not be so, unless recently sealed and pressure-tested.

International shipping may be subject to import taxes, and we have no control over the time required for customs clearance. All purchasers based outside the United Kingdom should make their own enquiries prior to buying.
