Rolex Datejust 1601 "Wideboy"
Description
This is the Rolex Datejust 1601 “Wideboy”. The Datejust is Rolex’s staple, their best selling and most famous dress model in the Rolex lineup. The Datejust was originally released in 1945 as the first automatic watch with a date function. Through the years, the Datejust has evolved greatly. One particularly interesting variant of the Datejust line is the “Wideboy”, which differs from the regular datejust due to the unique wide set indices and handset. While there are seemingly endless Datejust configurations, the “Wideboy” is one of the only variants that has been bestowed with a nickname and remains among the most popular in the realm of vintage Datejusts. This 1601 is powered by the workhorse Rolex 1570 movement. A timeless icon, the Datejust is a staple in the line of Rolex dress watches and one that is instantly recognizable.
Condition
This Rolex 1601 “Wideboy” is in excellent pre-owned condition. The dial is in perfect condition. The indices have aged into a creamy patina with lighter original wideboy hands. The case appears may have been lightly polished but the lugs remain thick and even. The caseback and crystal remain flawless.
