Produced during the 1970s, the Rolex Datejust reference 1611 represents one of the most distinctive and elaborate interpretations of Rolex's iconic calendar wristwatch. Distinguished by its unusual linen-textured finish, applied to both the bezel and the centre links of its matching gold bracelet, the reference combines the classic proportions of the Datejust with an exceptionally rich and decorative aesthetic. The present example is further distinguished by its highly attractive lapis lazuli dial. Cut from natural hard stone, the deep blue surface displays beautiful variations in colour together with naturally occurring inclusions, giving the dial a unique and highly individual character. The remarkable contrast between the intense blue lapis lazuli and the warmth of the yellow gold case creates a particularly striking and elegant appearance. The present Rolex Datejust reference 1611 represents a highly attractive and unusual example of one of the most decorative interpretations of the classic Datejust. Further enhancing its appeal, the watch is accompanied by its original Rolex presentation box.
