At the heart of this Datejust 1601 is a champagne linen dial, its textured surface lending a layer of visual depth that distinguishes it from standard smooth champagne executions. The round 36mm stainless steel case houses a sapphire crystal and solid case back, while the 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and matching screw-in crown complete the two-tone aesthetic. Water resistance is rated to 10 ATM.
The two-tone Jubilee bracelet — rendered in 18k yellow gold and stainless steel with a fold clasp in the same combination — complements the case beautifully and reflects the traditional Datejust configuration that has defined the reference for decades. The overall proportions remain balanced and immediately recognizable.
Powering the watch is an automatic movement with a date complication and COSC certification. This example comes with a Rolex box and store warranty. Reference 1601 is a well-regarded expression of the Datejust lineage, and this linen-dial configuration represents one of the less frequently encountered dial options within the range.
