A vintage Rolex Datejust ref. 1603 dating to circa 1977, offered with an attractive blue dial and the reference’s signature stainless steel engine-turned bezel.

The original small-print dial features large luminous plots that remain largely intact, with light discoloration visible across the blue surface. Applied silvered baton markers and matching luminous hands complete the tonal configuration.

Powered by the Rolex caliber 1570 automatic movement, the 36mm stainless steel case is fitted with a light brown leather strap, providing a warm contrast against the blue dial. A straightforward and appealing 1970s Datejust in a particularly nice color combination.
