Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

When it comes to "budget" Rolex, there are few watches more attractive than an Oyster Perpetual - and the Oyster Perpetuals of the 1960s and 1970s remain some of Rolex's best-loved timepieces. Elegant and sturdy, the Reference 1500 series Oyster Perpetual is a wonderful alternative to the slightly larger Datejust, offering an even better value proposition. In a time when more and more brands are returning to smaller and more sensible case sizes, the Oyster Perpetual Date shines at 35mm. This particular watch, a Reference 1503, dates to circa 1978 and features an 18k yellow gold Oyster case with a fluted yellow gold bezel, a sunburst silver Tritium dial with applied indices and matching handset, a signed crown, and a matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet with a signed blade clasp. Simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't, even in yellow gold. These watches are incredibly versatile for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion!
