About this watch

Rolex Datejust 1601 Silver Dial 36mm 1972 Case and Bracelet The 36mm Oyster case and bracelet are both in excellent condition, with only very light wear visible across the surfaces on close inspection. The case retains good form and definition, and the bracelet articulates well and closes securely, wearing as it should for the reference. It should be noted that the watch has had a sapphire crystal conversion installed in place of the original acrylic crystal, a later modification to the watch as it now presents. Dial and Hands The dial shows light wear, consistent with the watch's age and honest use, while remaining clear and legible across its surface with the printing intact. The hands are in excellent condition, crisp and correctly aligned, with no issues to note across the handset. Use Advisory This is a vintage timepiece, now over fifty years old, and should be treated accordingly. It rewards gentler handling than a modern watch would ask for, and with regular servicing the calibre will continue to run reliably for years to come.
