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 1972 and features an 18k yellow gold Oyster case with a fluted yellow gold bezel, a magnified acrylic crystal, and a sunburst silver Tritium dial with applied indices and matching handset. 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!
