Dating to 1962, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1501 represents a compelling piece of horological history. The 34mm round stainless steel case features a screw-down crown and houses a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, protecting a clean silver-tone analog dial outfitted with index hour markers and matching silver-toned hands. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date.
Power comes from an automatic movement — specifically a non-quick-set configuration consistent with production from this era. The watch is accompanied by a stainless steel Oyster bracelet secured with a fold clasp, and all components are confirmed Rolex parts. The watch has been professionally polished and runs in perfect working order.
This timepiece does not come with its original box or papers, but is presented with a jewelry box and appraisal certificate. Swiss Made designation appears on the dial, underscoring its classic Rolex provenance.
