The Rolex Date made its first appearance in 1950, which offers much of the same design and functionality as the classic Datejust. The Rolex Date was available in a wide variety of different configurations and featured the exact some COSC-certified movement as Rolex’s Datejust watches from the same era. Therefore, the Date makes zero compromises regarding timekeeping and overall reliability.
The Date 1500 was first introduced in the early 1960s and remained in production through the late 1970s. This particular example is from 1970 and really shows us why vintage watches are so interesting. The star of the show? Obviously the dial, which is simply perfect. Let's dive into it!
This particular example features a matte blue dial which is already a rare find, however it aged towards a very unique 'Camo' texture. It's always cool to find these kind of timepieces, because it isn't only unique, but it truly shows the characteristic of a vintage timepiece The exact reason why our passion for vintage watches started in the first place.
The word patina, tropical or beautifully aged gets thrown around a lot, but we only mention it when the aesthetics and overall condition speaks for itself. We haven’t even talked about the condition yet. Beyond its rarity, this timepiece is in beautiful conditions. This piece is for someone who prefers uniqueness and rarity in stead of moving with the masses.
The watch is fully serviced by our watchmakers and comes with a 1-year warranty!
