The Datejust is one of the most iconic Rolex watch models. The presently offered ref. 1601 may look just like any other Datejust from afar, but it has a subtle variation that vaults it into rarified air. The majority of Datejust models are stainless steel or yellow gold. This 18k white gold example is one of a very few to be offered at auction and is extremely rare. Only a trained eye would be able to see the difference between white gold and stainless steel. The one notable difference is that the watch does not have drilled lugs, while the stainless steel versions do. Someone looking to add a classic model to their collection with a rare variation should not let this opportunity pass.
