The engine-turned Datejust, its bezel machined with a fine coin-edge pattern that sits between the plain 1600 and the fluted 1601. It ran close to twenty years, on the 1565 and then the 1575.
- Engine-turned means a machined, closely spaced milled edge, distinct from the deeper and wider fluting of the 1601.
Common questions
Before you ask.
When was the Rolex 1603 produced?
The 1603 was produced from 1959 to 1977.
What movement does the Rolex 1603 use?
The Rolex 1603 runs the Cal. 1560 / 1570, an automatic movement.
How do I check a Rolex 1603 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
