A true connoisseur’s piece—this 1976 Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 breaks away from the usual with an exceedingly rare rose gold configuration. Unlike the more commonly seen yellow gold variants, this example features an original 18k rose gold fluted bezel and matching Jubilee bracelet center links that exude a softer, more refined warmth on the wrist.
What truly elevates this watch is the dial: an original, era-correct piece that has aged beautifully with a warm speckled patina, adding layers of character and charm. The rose gold hour markers and handset complement the case metal perfectly, offering a harmonious visual symmetry that’s rarely seen. The hands are yellow gold Rolex replacement tritium hands that has aged along with the dial.
This 1601 example is a collector’s delight, especially for those seeking a more unique twist on a vintage classic. With its desirable rose gold accents, period-correct dial, and unmistakable vintage charisma, it’s a perfect addition to any serious Rolex collection!
