This example is crafted from solid 18K white gold, a rare and understated execution that elevates the watch into a different class. Paired with the desirable \"Wide Boy\" dial, it combines the weight and presence of a precious metal case with a dial configuration sought after for its unique proportions. It is a classic design rendered in a way that is both discreet and significant.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Appeal Of The Wide Boy Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat sets this particular Datejust apart is the dial. Known by collectors as the \"Wide Boy,\" this variant features broader, blockier hands and hour markers. The effect is subtle but powerful, giving the watch a more assertive and legible character than the standard stick marker dials of the era. This example is especially strong, with a clean silver sunburst finish and lume plots that present as fresh and undamaged. It is the perfect configuration for a collector who appreciates the nuances of vintage Rolex dial design.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Well Preserved White Gold Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Datejust is in very good condition. The 18K white gold case is unpolished and well-preserved, and the fluted bezel remains sharp. The silver sunburst Wide Boy dial is exceptional for its age, showing no signs of damage. Consistent with its age, the folded Jubilee bracelet shows some stretch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Understated Heavy Hitter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is the right choice for someone who wants a vintage Datejust with more substance than the common steel models. White gold has the heft of a precious metal watch but flies under the radar, offering a sense of quiet luxury. It combines the best of the era, from its classic 36mm proportions to its sought-after dial layout, all in a case material that makes it a true collector's piece. It works as a daily watch that carries an extra layer of rarity.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1601\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Datejust\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold Fluted\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folded Jubilee\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits 6.75-7.5in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Sunburst \"Wide Boy\"\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1120\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55238142001443,"sku":"11120","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF6979.jpg?v=1781548478","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1975-rolex-datejust-1601-18k-white-gold-silver-wide-boy-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
