For sale is a beautiful early-production Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 from 1960 — a true transitional piece bridging the 6605 and later Datejusts. • Serial: 537xxx (1960 production) • Case: 36mm stainless steel with yellow gold fluted bezel • Dial: Original silver pie-pan with “SWISS” only marking at 6 o’clock — radium lume plots in great shape, warm creamy patina. • Hands: Original baton • Movement: running well and keeping time. Date flips as it should. • Bracelet/Strap: Leather strap with vintage Rolex buckle included. • Condition: Honest vintage condition — strong case, natural patina, all original parts. This is a great example for collectors who appreciate transitional details — the radium “SWISS” dial, thin bezel, and early 1601 serial make it a great conversation piece that wears like a later Datejust but feels like the ‘50s. Price: $3,850 USD shipped (fully insured) – Zelle, or wire. No trades at this time.
