Enquiry

The Rolex Datejust has served as the foundation of Rolex's product lineup since 1945. This particular Ref. 1603 from 1974 presents itself as a perfect choice for a daily timepiece. It features an easy-to-read date display, a steel engine-turned bezel, a stunning Jubilee bracelet, and operates with the Caliber. 1570 automatic movement.

Condition Report:
Overall, the watch is in great vintage condition and has been freshly serviced ready for its new owner.
The dial is in great shape with minimal wear present, it exhibits glimmer in various light thanks to its silver nature. The dial features block hour markers, while within the pie pan, the tritium lume plops have gracefully matured over time to a cream tone. Positioned at 3 o'clock is the date window, and just below the 6 o'clock marker, you'll find the tagline 'T Swiss T'. The plexiglass crystal is unblemished, with only minor signs of scratches.

The 36mm case is in great condition, bearing only minor hairline scratches. Even after a minor polish, the case edges remain crisp and well-defined. The crown, located at 3 o'clock, can be wound smoothly and operates without any resistance. The 6251H Jubilee bracelet with large crown clasp features '55' endlinks, and it exhibits a slight sag which is expected considering its age. It accommodates wrist sizes up to 7.25 inches and consists of 19 links. Finally, the watch's serial number, 364XXXX, indicates a production date of 1974.

Personal Comments: 
The Datejust is one of the easiest watches to wear; the ability to pair it with anything from a double-breasted suit to even sweatpants while making a grocery run concludes that it is the perfect companion for anyone. We personally believe a vintage Datejust is a must-have for any collector to own or for anyone looking for their first Rolex.
