Rolex 1603 Perpetual Datejust - Black Dial

FOR SALE – ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST REF. 1603 (1972)

We are pleased to offer this elegant Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 1603 from 1972, a highly attractive vintage example featuring a timeless black dial paired with a fully original Rolex service Oyster bracelet from 2002. The later solid link bracelet gives the watch a more substantial and modern feel on the wrist while perfectly complementing the classic vintage Datejust design.

The watch is fitted with a beautiful black dial in excellent condition, offering a clean and timeless appearance with strong legibility. The dial remains very well preserved and gives the watch a sporty yet refined character that suits the Datejust perfectly.

The stainless steel case remains in honest overall condition with well-defined lines and a strong profile. The case shows one small dent on the lower right side, something we feel fits the character of a genuine vintage Rolex that has not been excessively polished over the years. The engine turned bezel adds a subtle sporty touch and completes the classic early 1970s look beautifully.

A major highlight of this example is the recent official Rolex service completed in mid-2024. The watch is accompanied by the original Rolex service invoice, Rolex service warranty card, and remains under official Rolex warranty until July 2026, offering excellent peace of mind for the next owner.

Inside, the automatic Rolex movement is running well, exactly as expected.
