-Description

The Oyster Perpetual is a direct descendant of the first Oyster released in 1926, which established Rolex's reputation as the world's first waterproof wristwatch.

It is the origin of Rolex watches with two of the three major inventions of Rolex: the Oyster case, which is waterproof and extremely durable, and the Perpetual mechanism, an automatic winding mechanism with a rotor that rotates in both directions.

The Oyster Perpetual Date reference 1500 has added a calendar function to make it even more practical.

The case diameter is 34mm, which is a small size that fits comfortably on your wrist. It can be said that the size is unique to vintage.

Reference 1500 was manufactured from the 1960s to the 1980s and differs from Ref 1501 only in the bezel. (The 1501 had a finely engine-turned bezel with decoration.)

The dial is a silver dial with sunray finish. It has turned ivory with age, which is a vintage feature.

The hands are bar hands and the indexes are basically bar indexes, but only at 6 and 9 o'clock they are short and thick, an unusual detail.

The hands and dial both retain tritium luminescence.

The bracelet comes with a oyster riveted bracelet 7205, manufactured in the same year as the watch. The bracelet is so light that you forget you are wearing it. The buckle has a design with a protruding crown.
