Rolex Datejust 1601/8 in 18kt Yellow Gold with Diamond Bezel and Dial

This is an 18kt yellow gold Rolex Datejust wristwatch dating from approximately 1976. The timepiece features a champagne-colored dial accented with ten single-cut diamond hour markers set in square gold chatons. The watch face is significantly enhanced by an aftermarket or custom-set diamond bezel, containing approximately 40 to 50 round brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial printing includes the 'Rolex' coronet at 12 o'clock, followed by the 'Oyster Perpetual Datejust' and 'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' text. A date aperture is visible at the 3 o'clock position under a Cyclops magnification lens. The hands are yellow gold baton style. While the user notes a 'Presidential band,' it should be noted that the President bracelet is traditionally reserved for the Day-Date model, though it is often fitted to gold Datejusts of this era. Visible condition issues include some surface scratching on the acrylic crystal and potential 'stretching' or wear in the gold bracelet links common for a 1970s watch. The 'Swiss Made' mark at 6 o'clock suggests a later service dial or specific production variant. The overall construction displays high-tier luxury craftsmanship characteristic of mid-70s Rolex production.
