Description from the seller

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

Champagne Sunburst Dial – Stainless Steel – Automatic
Esthetic Ref. 1500

Elegant and timeless vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in one of the brand’s most desirable and versatile configurations: stainless steel Oyster case paired with a gorgeous champagne dial with a sunburst effect.

A watch with all the classic Rolex essence from the 1970s/80s: perfect proportions, smooth bezel, applied indices, date window with Cyclops lens, and a sober but immensely recognizable aesthetic.

The dial presents a very special gold/champagne tone that shifts with the light, ranging from warm gold to honey tones and intense champagne. Much more striking in person than in the usual silver configurations.

Fitted with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with a Rolex-branded clasp.

Condition

Very good overall condition for its age.

Case with well-preserved proportions
Bracelet with wear and slight play typical of a used vintage Rolex
Dial with excellent visual presence
Acrylic crystal with visible signs of use
Case and bracelet show normal signs of wear and small scratches appropriate to the age
Please review all photos carefully

Seller's Story

If we had to choose a word to define us, it would be passion. Passion for watches and the stories they tell. Passion for beauty and heritage. For us, a watch is not just an object. It is an extension of the person who wears it, a witness to the events of their life, and a keeper of memories passed down through generations. We service every watch carefully, aware of the responsibility of delivering a very special item that embodies its own spirit and will become a meaningful part of its owner's life.
