Original grey linen sigma dial with white gold baton indices

Original grey crosshatched dial, known as a “linen” dial, is one of the most desirable Datejust dial variants. Also known as a sigma dial due to the small Greek letters either side of the “T Swiss T” indicating the use of gold for the indices. These sigma dials were only produced during the early to mid 70s and have now become highly sought-after. Referred to as a “pie pan” dials due to the sloping edge of the dial. This extra detail is why these four digit Datejust references are much admired amongst collectors. The dial is marked “T Swiss T” referring to the original tritium luminous used on the dial. The dial has not been touched by us and remains in excellent original condition with minimal signs of age.

stainless steel case with white gold fluted bezel

Ref. 1601 with stainless steel case and solid white gold fluted bezel. The 3.1 million serial number in-between the lugs denotes to the year of production of 1972. This reference features a plexiglass crystal with a “Cyclops” magnifying the date display. The case & bracelet have been professionally polished by us giving the watch a stunning aesthetic. The white gold bezel has been sympathetically polished by hand so that it retains the original fluted edges. This is one of the reasons why our watches are presented in the highest quality in terms of condition. It also features an original Rolex Oyster Twinlock screw down crown.
