Description

The Datejust collection is arguably the most diverse collection since its birth in 1945. The 1600 is no exception, launched in 1969, when Rolex offered a Datejust with a smooth bezel, contrary to what was familiar from sister references 1601 and 1603. This subtle difference created a sleek and dressy feel.
