Watch Market Comparison
A Rolex Datejust 36, model 1601, is a vintage classic that embodies the enduring prestige of the Datejust line. Produced in 1975, this bi-metal reference combines stainless steel with 18ct yellow gold, creating the quintessential two-tone aesthetic that has become synonymous with Rolex. The 36mm Oyster case is paired with a fluted yellow gold bezel and a silver dial set with applied baton hour markers, ensuring a refined and timeless look. Completing the design is the Jubilee bracelet, also in steel and yellow gold, renowned for its comfort and elegant five-link construction.
Powering the watch is the Rolex calibre 1570 automatic movement, one of the brand’s most celebrated vintage calibres, known for its reliability and robustness. Beating at 19,800 vibrations per hour with hacking seconds for precise time-setting, the 1570 is chronometer-certified and considered a benchmark of Rolex’s mechanical excellence during this era. The scratch-resistant acrylic crystal and date aperture with Cyclops magnifier highlight its vintage charm, while the screw-down crown provides water resistance typical of the period.
Presented in good condition for its age, this example comes with authenticity paperwork, box, and certification, and is backed by a 12-month WLC warranty. The 1601 stands as a highly collectable reference, representing a perfect blend of vintage character, two-tone refinement, and lasting investment appeal within Rolex’s most iconic collection.
