Datejust "Sigma Dial"

Rolex | Ref. 1601

SIGMA

This beautiful Datejust, reference 1601, features a rare distinction. It has a so-called "Sigma Pie Pan Dial".

In the 1970s, l’Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (APRIOR), an association of selected Swiss watch manufacturers decided to specially highlight watches with gold components. This was done with a small symbol, the Greek letter sigma.

The magnificent case with sharp edges shows only slight signs of wear. The hands and dial are in very good condition and are original to the period.

The Jubilee bracelet is also in age-appropriate condition with some stretch.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
