Rolex Datejust Ref. 1603 'Tropical Blue Dial'

This Rolex Datejust ref. 1603 dates to 1974 and features a blue dial with a little extra wabi sabi. This dial has an even patina around the minute track that aged to a tropical brown caramel hue. The body of the dial is a gorgeous purplish blue that almost appears lavender in some lights. The watch comes on its original 6251H folded swiss jubilee bracelet and has a steel engine turned bezel. This example is an excellent value proposition for someone who wants a blue dial Rolex at a competitive price point.
