Time to stop your grinnin' and drop your linen! And what better watch to do so than this stunning Datejust in precious metal and equipped with a no-lume linen dial.

If you disregard the hallmarks and the heft you could think it is an ordinary Datejust, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the 36mm category, the eminent precious metal model is usually the Day-Date, but there have been quite some Datejusts made in Aurum; of which the lion share in 18K yellow gold. For obvious reasons very few white gold 1601's ever saw the light of day. But you're not wrong in assuming a gentleman who would order such an uncommon watch, paying an enormous premium for a seemingly regular Datejust, has more up his sleeve. Et voila; enter a beautiful linen dial.

The structure on this linen dial is absolutely astonishing. The reason it doesn't have any lume could be that this watch originally found its way from Geneva, Switzerland to a country that had expensive import costs for the luminescent material and as such was left absent. The "closed" handset and baton markers compliment the dial beautifully. The case is very strong with thick lugs, proudly displaying the hallmarks on the bottom, reassuring you it is indeed made out of white gold. It comes on an original and magnificently matching leather strap with Rolex buckle. On request, at an additional fee, we could source a period correct President bracelet in matching metal. (see last 2 pictures. Please note, this bracelet is not included in the current offering)

This absolute beauty dates back to 1971 and is ready for its new owner to be enjoyed on all its new ventures.
