The Datejust, an enduring symbol of elegance, commenced its illustrious journey in 1945 with Rolex’s production of the reference 4467, a tribute to the manufacture’s 40th anniversary. This milestone model featured a coin-edge bezel and a date aperture, accompanied by an innovative bracelet design named the “Jubilee.” Fast forward 14 years, and Rolex continued the legacy with the introduction of the reference 1601, a model that retained the same DNA while boasting an upgraded caliber and a reeded bezel. The present remarkable specimen, crafted in 1972, stands as a testament to the Datejust’s timeless allure. What sets this Datejust apart is its rare and delightful pink-on-pink style. The pink dial adorned with applied baton indexes and hands harmoniously complements the pink-gold Oyster case. The three-body case is remarkably well-preserved, exhibiting no apparent signs of wear but proudly displaying deep and clear hallmarks on the lugs. Completing the ensemble is a stunning Oyster riveted bracelet, adding a touch of refinement to the overall aesthetic. Powering this Rolex beauty is the caliber 1570, featuring the distinctive “œil-de-perdrix” decoration. This Datejust Reference 1601 not only encapsulates Rolex’s commitment to precision and craftsmanship but also serves as a timeless icon, a status symbol that transcends eras. With its perfect blend of pink and gold, this Rolex masterpiece is a piece of horological history that continues to captivate watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
