1967 Rolex Datejust Two-Tone Gold Dial 1601

OVERALL:  Beautiful vintage two-tone Datejust with tons of charm due to the older font treatment, acrylic crystal, no lume dial/hands, and of course the pie-pan dial which gives it depth. Watch was in the same family for 30+ years who received it from the original owner. Service history is unknown and will need a service as it's running fast (roughly +25 sec/day). Beautiful 50+ year old vintage Rolex here.

Here's a fun article from Hodinkee on the love of the two-tone Datejust: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/why-the-men-in-my-family-freaking-love-the-rolex-two-tone-datejust
