The Datejust reference 1601 was introduced in 1959 as a variant of the 1600 with a reeded bezel. The Datejust model is predominantly cased in stainless steel and gold. Among different kinds of gold metal, white metal Datejust are much rarer than their yellow-gold counterparts. This specimen is absolutely desirable for the very beautiful 18k white-gold tonneau case with screw back and crown and its fluted white-gold bezel. All is, furthermore, preserved in excellent condition with sharp finishes to the top of the lugs and a crisp hallmark to the back of them. Completely understated, this example features an incredibly beautiful English green dial with applied baton-style indexes, all impressing for their conditions. Still displaying sharp milling on the bezel, this very specimen is a rare find, an extremely versatile watch that can be worn on a metal bracelet for a more debonair look or on a leather strap for a pinch of formality.
