Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm - Ref. 15000

For sale is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 15000 in stainless steel, dating to 1983 and fitted with a beautiful blue sunburst dial.

This example is offered with its original Rolex box and is fitted to a period-correct stainless steel Oyster bracelet, which remains in near-perfect condition with almost no stretch.

The Oyster Perpetual Date
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 15000 is a classic 34mm Rolex, offering the same timeless Oyster case design in a slightly more understated size. Clean, versatile and highly wearable, it is a perfect everyday vintage Rolex.

The Dial
The standout feature of this watch is its blue sunburst dial, which shifts beautifully in tone as it catches the light. The dial is fitted with gold baton hour markers and matching hands, giving the watch a warm contrast against the deep blue finish.

The lume plots have aged in a particularly unique way, creating what collectors sometimes refer to as “exploded lume” or bloomed tritium. This gives the dial a distinctive vintage character, with the aged lume appearing to spread naturally around the hour markers.

The Case
The 34mm stainless steel Oyster case is paired with a smooth polished bezel, giving the watch a clean and classic appearance. The proportions are refined, comfortable and true to the understated charm of the Oyster Perpetual Date line.

The Bracelet
The watch is fitted with its period-correct stainless steel Oyster bracelet. The bracelet is in excellent condition for its age, showing little to no stretch and completing the watch beautifully.

The Movement
Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3035 automatic movement, known for its reliability and practical quickset date function.

The Crystal
The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal, correct for the reference, with the Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock magnifying the date.
