Here we have a 1978 Rolex Datejust Linen Dial Engine-Turned Bezel 1603, featuring a 36mm stainless steel Oyster case that gently curves towards the tapered, drilled lugs for easy strap changing. The lug-to-lug length measures 43mm, and the thickness is 12mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling for extra grip. Polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp edges, the engine-turned bezel holds a domed crystal above a rare pie-pan linen dial. An outer minute track is precisely printed with Tritium lume pips at hourly intervals, and applied chamfered-edged baton indexes catch the light magically as you rotate your wrist. At 3 o’clock, a date window with a cyclops magnification on the crystal. Elegant baton hands have chamfered edges and Tritium lume infill complemented by a finely tapered sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock, an applied Rolex crown, text is printed accurately at 12 “Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust” and at 6 o’clock “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified”. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back houses an automatic Rolex Cal. 1570, featuring 26 jewels and a beat rate of 19,800 beats per hour. This movement was first introduced in 1965 and remained in production until 1974. It comes paired with an original polished and brushed 20mm folded-link Rolex Jubilee bracelet, featuring a Rolex folding clasp.
