Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 circa 1976 (serial 415…)
The Datejust is quintessential Rolex. Not only are the 1960-1970’s variations of this model with pie-pan depth and open midcentury font in the datewheel exceptionally unique, but the dials often don refined colors and patina. This one has an aureate gold dial with tritium hands and markers—framed in an 18k gold fluted bezel and stainless steel case—classic two-tone. While the bottom of the dial notes a service dial, it still appears to be tritium and does not stay lit (period correct) which means it was probably mean it was done before 1996
The 1600 variation points to a smooth bezel. The 1601 is a gold fluted one and 1603 sports an engine turned steel bezel. Today, the Oyster Perpetual series is hands down the most popular of the crown and the OP is some one the original dna.
While service history is unknown, the automatic non-quickset movement is showing healthy data. The case has minimal signs of polish and light wear—on notable marks are underneath and a bit of aging between the lugs where the strap fits in.
