The Rolex 1603 Datejust Watch
Production Years:
The Rolex Datejust 1603 is a vintage model that started production in 1959. It would continue production for nearly two decades, before being discontinued in the late 1970s.
Defining Features:
The Rolex Datejust 1603 has a unique engine-turned bezel, as opposed to the typical fluted option you might expect from a Rolex Datejust. It also is equipped with an automatic 1570 movement. The 36mm case makes it a great, balanced size for a variety of wrist sizes. Of course, it also has Rolex’s date display.
This Rolex was in production for many years, meaning there were a lot of different versions released, giving you a versatile choice for design. Most cases are stainless steel with a Jubilee bracelet, but there are also cases and bracelets that use Rolex’s two-tone gold and steel. There are also various dial colours, including blue, black, gray, silver, and white. There is sure to be a 1603 Datejust that fits your style.
