THE STORY
In our opinion, the versatility of a Datejust is unrivaled. Worn with a tux or on the beach, the signature Rolex can be taken out on any occasion and look timeless along the way.
Of the decades of Datejusts, the 1601 reference stands out to us. Housed in a classic 36mm case, strapped with a jubilee bracelet and pie pan, no-lume sigma dial, this example seems to have it all. Go ahead and google each term, but just know that in combination, we have a highly attractive, clean, and desirable watch in our hands.
