Rolex Datejust 1601 Tiffany & Co. signed Silver Sigma Dial

Partially verified

This Rolex Datejust reference 1601 features a 36mm steel case and a fluted white gold bezel. The silver soleil-finish dial includes applied stick markers, with thicker indices at the 6 and 9 o'clock positions. The dial is distinguished by the "Tiffany & Co." signature located on its lower half. The watch retains luminous material on the dial, which is described as having aged to a cream tone. It is equipped with a Jubilee bracelet, identified as reference 62510H, featuring 555 end links and a clasp stamped "U9". The timepiece contains a "slow-set" movement, which the vendor reports as having been fully serviced. The watch serial number 372xxxx corresponds to the year 1974. This example is a double-signed piece, reflective of the historical practice between Rolex and the retailer Tiffany & Co. to co-sign dials for watches sold at their boutiques.

Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The watch features a 36mm steel case characterized by a crisp white gold fluted bezel. The silver-toned dial utilizes a soleil finish, which is complemented by applied stick markers. A specific design detail includes slightly thicker markers located at the 6 and 9 o'clock positions.

The dial is marked with the double signature of both the manufacturer and the retailer, Tiffany & Co., located on the lower half. The applied luminous markers display a cream-toned aging, which is visible across the dial face. The watch is protected by a plexi-crystal.

Evidence for this section
  • “The case is strong and well-preserved, paired with a crisp white gold fluted bezel.”
  • “The silver dial features a clean soleil finish with applied stick markers, slightly thicker at 6 and 9 o’clock”
  • “the coveted “Tiffany & Co.” signature on the lower half of the dial.”

Movement and Bracelet Configuration

The timepiece is powered by a slow-set movement, which the vendor confirms has been recently serviced by their watchmaker. This movement type is consistent with the era of the watch's production.

The watch is mounted on a Jubilee bracelet, specifically referenced as 62510H. This bracelet includes 555 end links and a clasp featuring the stamp 'U9', which the vendor identifies as a period-correct configuration for the watch.

Evidence for this section
  • “The watch and its slow-set movement have been fully serviced by our watchmaker”
  • “It’s fitted with a Jubilee bracelet (ref. 62510H) with end links 555 and a clasp stamped “U9””

Retailer Signature and Attribution

The dial bears the signature of Tiffany & Co., which is described as being applied to watches sold through Tiffany boutiques during the period from the 1950s through the late 1980s. These items are commonly referred to as double-signed pieces.

The association with Tiffany & Co. is presented in the context of the historical retail arrangement wherein Rolex provided the watches and the retailer added their name to the dial. The watch serial number 372xxxx is cited by the source as dating the object to 1974.

Evidence for this section
  • “Rolex allowed Tiffany & Co. to co-sign the dials of watches sold through their boutiques.”
  • “creating what collectors now refer to as “double-signed” pieces.”
  • “Serial 372xxxx dating to 1974”
