The Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 is one of the most iconic vintage watches. A well-proportioned 36 mm steel case, the fluted bezel in 14k white gold and the famous Jubilee bracelet.

The Datejust was the first self-winding watch to show the date in a window on the dial that jumps out instantly at midnight to ensure that the date is "right" at all times. With its timeless design, perfect time legibility, date window and self-winding movement, this model has remained one of the most popular Rolex watches since its launch in 1945.

This **1972** model has a beautiful, rare **black** "Pie-pan" dial; most of the production was done with silver dials. 

In the 1970s, the Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (or 'APRIOR'), which brought together a number of watchmakers, took the initiative of registering a symbol, the Greek letter **Sigma 'σ'**, to identify the use of gold in the materials of a watch. Affixed to the dial at 6 o'clock, this symbol means that the indexes are made of solid gold. A detail often appreciated by collectors.

Beneath the dial is the calibre 1570, with stop seconds for precise adjustment, and a power reserve of around 48 hours.

The watch is delivered as "watch only".
