This Rolex Datejust reference 1601 from 1970 is fitted with the automatic calibre 1570 chronometer, renowned for its robustness. It features a silver "Wide Boy" tritium dial, recognisable by its extra-wide baton indices and hands, produced during a short period in the early 1970s. The fluted bezel is in 18k white gold, contrasting with the 36 mm steel case. Fitted on a folded Jubilee bracelet with Big Crown clasp, this version is a rare and particularly sought-after configuration.
