First introduced in 1945, it was the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date on the dial. The Datejust quickly became a symbol of prestige and luxury, and has been worn by some of the world's most influential figures, including US President Eisenhower and Martin Luther King Jr. Over the years, Rolex has continued to refine the design of the Datejust, adding new features and innovations while staying true to its classic look and feel. Today, the Datejust remains one of the most popular and recognizable watches in the world, a testament to its timeless design and enduring appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis four digit ref. 1601, circa '72 is a cut above the usual examples we look for due to its black \"confetti\" dial. This collector nickname comes from the combination of color visible in the dial up close. This was not only a unique offering in the Rolex lineup but a true rarity that has become very sought after. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to state that this is likely one of the best surviving examples found. The dial is truly mint with all tritium plots full and cleanly aged to an attractive yellow patina matching the hands. The case\/bracelet\/bezel all appear completely untouched. The bracelet is a correct 6251H\/55, fitting an approximate 8.5 inch wrist. The icing on the cake is the addition of inner and outer boxes, punched warranty papers and two booklets and wallet making this example worthy of the most discerning collector.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52535833100564,"sku":null,"price":9300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-datejut-1601-confetti-dial-box-papers-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1779884122","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-datejust-1601-w-confetti-dial-box-papers-unpolished","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
