Why This Watch Matters The Datejust is a perfect watch for everyone, but is especially great for someone just entering the vintage watch world; this is a classic you'll enjoy for years to come. The Full Story The Datejust reference 1601 is a fail-proof watch. It is a classic in the truest sense. This watch is from 1967 but remains fresh and relevant. Just like a certain beat or melody in music, there is something about the Datejust that remains appealing to all. It can be worn with anything, on anyone, and anywhere. It’s one of those watches that is so comfortable to wear but makes the wearer stand a bit taller and straighter with the pride of wearing a quality, classic Swiss watch. This excellent example is the classic of the Datejust model with a steel Oyster case, white-gold fluted bezel, and Jubilee bracelet. Combined with a silvered dial with sunburst finish and the beautiful patina on the lume, this example shows the best of what a vintage Datejust can offer.
