Rolex Oyster Perpetual Model Ref: 1002 - Silver Dial - c.1966

A Stunning Rolex Oyster Perpetual Model Ref: 1002 in Beautiful Condition with an Elegant Silver Dial, c.1966

In 1950, Rolex released the first water-resistant, automatic-winding wristwatch in which the winding rotor moved 360 degrees, called the Oyster Perpetual. The sole purpose of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual has always been to tell time and the reference has become a symbol of elegant style while offering practical use.

What’s On Offer 

A beautiful offering here in the shape of this classic and timeless Rolex Oyster Perpetual from c.1966. In remarkably good shape, the textured silver dial is blemish-free and boasts applied polished metal baton hour markers with luminous pips and corresponding hands with subtle luminous inserts. The dial is simply finished with a Rolex coronet at noon and encased underneath shatterproof acrylic. The steel case and oyster bracelet is in fantastic shape when one considers the age of this piece. A really lovely watch that wears beautifully on the wrist and with a design that transcends time, it really will never go out of style.
