When it launched in 1945, its combination of a waterproof case, automatic movement, and an automatically changing date display set a standard that the entire industry would follow for decades. The 1601 is the quintessential vintage expression of that legacy, pairing the iconic 36mm Oyster case with a finely fluted yellow gold bezel. It is the blueprint for a watch that is both elegant and durable enough for daily life.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Documented History Of Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis two-tone example from 1970 stands out due to its well-documented service history.
