Rolex Datejust 1601 Sigma In Perfect condition

Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 — Serial 3572XXX — 1973

A superb vintage Datejust presented in truly perfect condition, this ref. 1601 is a standout example for collectors who value originality and preservation. The silver sigma dial is exceptionally well kept, with crisp printing and beautifully balanced ageing. The applied markers, framed by the subtle sigma designation, underline the use of precious metal elements — a detail highly appreciated among enthusiasts.

The case remains strong with sharp fluting to the white gold bezel, and the watch is fitted on its original folded Jubilee bracelet, completing the classic Datejust configuration exactly as it was intended.

An honest, investment-grade piece that combines timeless aesthetics with outstanding overall condition.

Technical background

Sigma dials were produced during the early 1970s and are identified by the small σ marks at the bottom of the dial, indicating gold indices and hands. Combined with the pie-pan dial construction and fluted bezel, the 1601 represents one of the most iconic vintage Datejust executions.
