Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 Wideboy circa 1966
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 1601 has a super clean aesthetic with silver burst pie pan “Wideboy” dial and “open 6” font in datewheel framed in an 18k gold fluted bezel with stainless steel case. The “Wideboy” refers to the broad hands and matching markers that look like steel beams for enhanced legibility and presence.
While service history is unknown, the automatic caliber 1570 movement is looking healthy on timegrapher with data and a clean look that points to a likely recent service (your experience may vary). The case is clean with no damage or notes except light marks under lugs from strap and bracelet changes.
Datejust overview: 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
