Rolex Datejust 36
Product Description
This vintage Rolex Datejust ref. 1601, produced in 1968, features a rare and captivating black “Spider” dial. Over time, the original glossy black lacquer has developed a unique network of fine cracks, known as the “Spider” effect, resulting from natural aging processes. This phenomenon enhances the watch’s character and is highly sought after by collectors for its distinctive appearance.
The watch boasts a 36mm stainless steel case complemented by an 18k white gold fluted bezel, maintaining its classic elegance. It is powered by a reliable automatic movement, ensuring precise timekeeping. Accompanied by its original box and papers, this timepiece offers authenticity and provenance. The Jubilee bracelet, known for its comfort and style, has a total length of 19.8 cm (approximately 7.8 inches), including the case.
