In the rich and long history of Rolex, not many model lines can pride themselves in being as significant as the Datejust. Born in 1945, the Datejust has seen many variations of cases, bracelets, and dials combinations, but this specific piece, with its blue dial, white gold fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet remains one of the most sought-after and easy-wearing timepieces of all time. This mesmerising blue dial is also called a “sigma dial”, meaning you can read two sigma symbols next to the “T Swiss T” writing at 6 o’clock. Moreover, the dial is almost immaculate, which is extremely rare on 1601s with blue dial, as the lacquer used in this years would peel off quite easily. This brings a little extra rarity to this all-time classic, demarcating it from the more regular Datejust configuration. On top of that, the overall condition of the watch is great, with still a lot of material on the case and sharp angles. It is the perfect start to a collection and a must-have for any serious watch enthusiast.
