Rolex Datejust Gilt Dial Ref 1601
SOLD
The Inside Story
We are delighted to be offering another super cool and unusual Datejust, this time with a gilt dial. Most famous for being used on vintage sports watches, the gilt dials were made using a galvanic printing process and have a wonderful warmth on the wrist that we love ..
The case is strong, with good even lugs and the white gold fluted bezel is in great condition and really adds some warmth to this amazing Datejust !
The gilt dial is in good condition with crisp and clear text.
The watch is fitted with a Jubilee bracelet, reference 6251H with reference 55 endlinks and the standout element of this piece is the super cool clasp that we believe was made for the Japanese market. The slow-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
We don’t see these Gilt dials often anymore , so be quick and get in touch to discuss this cool DJ some more!

Our Service
Each vintage timepiece is individually selected and carefully inspected by our team of experts. After we buy a watch it is mechanically inspected and fully checked by our watchmaker. If necessary, the movement will be fully serviced and tested to ensure it is running to our exacting standards.
We will always describe the watch as fully as we can in our sales texts. Our zoomable images are of the highest possible quality and form an important part of each watch’s description. We will never hide or cover up any element of any watch we sell.
Key to our unparalleled service is Fedex Priority shipping, fully insured. Once you have received your watch, we encourage you to inspect it thoroughly. If you are not 100% satisfied, please let us know. We offer a 14 days return policy. Simply return the watch to get a full refund of the original purchase price.
Our Warranty
We offer a one-year warranty on the mechanical function of the watch, starting from the day of purchase. We do not guarantee the waterproof nature of any (vintage) watch, unless expressly made in writing. Therefore, our warranty will not cover any damage done to the case and/or movement by water or moisture entering the watch. Our warranty does not apply to accidental damage or mishandling of your watch and does not extend to the bracelet, case parts (including pushers, winding stem, crown and bezel), watch glass, dial and hands.
