We are delighted to offer this outstanding and exceptionally rare Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 1601, dating from 1971, crafted entirely in 18k rose gold with brown crocdile leather strap and plaque rose gold Rolex pin buckle.

This watch featuring a stunning and highly desirable original pink dial — a true collector’s gem.

The 36mm case, rendered in solid 18k rose gold, features the model’s signature engine-turned bezel and classic acrylic crystal, giving the watch a warm, vintage charm. The case remains in excellent condition with well-preserved lugs, crisp hallmarks, and minimal signs of wear — a remarkable example for a watch of this age.

The standout feature is the rare pink sunburst dial, a seldom-seen variant that beautifully complements the rose gold case and offers an elegant, tonal harmony. It is adorned with applied rose gold baton hour markers, matching hands, and the iconic Cyclops date magnifier at 3 o’clock — all period correct and untouched.

Powered by the robust Rolex Caliber 1570 automatic movement, this watch delivers reliable performance while maintaining the mechanical purity and heritage Rolex collectors seek. The movement is COSC-certified and features hacking seconds — introduced during this era for improved precision.

“A rare and romantic take on an iconic design — this rose gold 1601 with pink dial captures the elegance and rarity that defines true vintage Rolex collecting.”
