Here we have a beautiful vintage Rolex Datejust reference 1603 with a stunning silver linen dial on a jubilee bracelet from the 70s. This watch sports a 36mm oyster case and 20mm lug width with a engine turned bezel. The lume in both the lume plots and hands developed a nice patina as seen in the photos. It's hard to find clean linen dials to this standard and this is one of the most beautiful linen pie pan dials we have seen from this era. As mentioned before on Watts On Watches, the Rolex Datejust has been one of the poster boys for Rolex since the brands 40th anniversary in 1945 and this piece is a beautiful example of true Rolex craftsmanship. This watch is in very good vintage condition showing light signs of wear to the case and bracelet.
