Description

The Rolex Datejust 1603 was released in 1959 and continued production for nearly two decades until retirement in the late 1970s. Typically, the Oyster case and Fluted bezel attached to a Jubilee bracelet is the iconic trio many can easily identify as the Datejust. However, the 1603 stands out with the engine-turned bezel. The engine-turned bezel is only found on this reference. Complimented by a silver "Wide Boy," dial. A wider hour hand and wider minute hand.
