Rolex Datejust Silver Dial with Original Papers Ref. 1600

The Rolex Datejust debuted in 1945 to celebrate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, becoming the first automatic wristwatch to feature a date displayed in a window at 3 o’clock, changing automatically at midnight.

 

Few watches are as truly timeless and versatile as the classic 36mm Datejust — a watch suitable for any occasion. Here we have exactly that, with a subtle and desirable twist: the rarer reference 1600, distinguished by its smooth bezel.

 

This example features an excellent case, paired with a lovely folded Jubilee bracelet (ref. 6251H) with 55 end links, and a superb pie-pan-style silver dial with a beautiful soleil finish.

 

The dial showcases warm egg-yolk-colored lume plots, exciting and uncommon hour markers, and crisp black printed text, all contributing depth and character.

 

Furthermore, the watch is accompanied by its original large Chronometer certificate and the rarer Japanese warranty paper — an outstanding bonus for collectors.

 

This fine Datejust has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.
