Introduction

Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 to mark the 40th Anniversary of Rolex. It was  the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch that featured a date indication. The Datejust 16xx series were produced between the 1960’s and the 1970’s. The ref. 1601 was produced with a fluted bezel and was available in all steel, white, yellow and rose gold or a combination. Characteristic for this era of production is the so-called ‘Pie-Pan’ dial: the dial looks like an upside down pie pan.
