About this watch

Rolex Datejust 1603 'Blue Dial' 36mm 1970 Case and Bracelet The 36mm Oyster case presents in very good condition, with light hairlines visible across the surfaces and case definition that remains very strong for a piece of this age. The engine-turned steel bezel and acrylic crystal are consistent with the reference. The bracelet is likewise in very good condition and wears well. Dial and Hands The blue dial is in very good condition, clean and even across the surface, with the hands similarly very good and correctly seated. The luminous material on the dial and hands has aged to an even, matching patina, the kind of consistent tone that points to original and untouched tritium. The tritium dial markings and the date display at three o'clock are consistent with a 1971 example. Overall the dial and handset present as a coherent and well-preserved original pairing. Use Advisory As a vintage watch of more than fifty years, this Datejust should be treated accordingly. Gentle handling and regular servicing appropriate to a watch of this age are advised.
