18K white gold Datejust 1801 from the early 60's

Hi there,

Middle age has caught up with me. Think I'm going thru a phase where I want to be more low key.

Can anyone tell me if a WG 1801 complete with the president bracelet is low key enough?

Also where is a good place to buy a 1801 from the '60s.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

"Low key" means different things to different people, cultures and locations.

A datejust is a good all around choice!

if by "low Key" you mean subtlety.......... I think the 1801 on a good quality crocodile leather straps is quite elegant but subtle..........my 2cs anyway.......feeling the urge for a 1803 YG on a leather croc strap myself......

1801 is not a Datejust but a President.

You won't be able to keep your eyes off it. Others won't seem to notice though

A 1801 or 1601 as long as it is WG! with a matching bracelet.

Any leads on how to get it?

Many thanks!
