Rolex Date 1500 'Taupe'

Rolex Date 1500 'Taupe'

The Rolex Date made its first appearance in the 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 in regard to timekeeping and overall reliability. 

The Date 1500 was first introduced in the early 1960s and remaining in production through the late 1970s. This particular example is from 1972, and shows us why some watches are made to stand the test of time. Its reliability and overall design aesthetic is timeless. It’s always a pleasure to offer you a well-preserved Date, but especially when it comes with a special dial like this one. This 1500 features a so called ‘’Taupe’’ dial, which is complimenting the list of the most desirable dials nowadays. The text can be printed white and black, but they both have the opportunity to disappear when the light hits the dial a certain way, which is exactly why many collectors admire these dials.

The watch features a newer solid Oyster bracelet, which is replaced during the original Rolex service, and therefore adds onto its reliability even more. The case is very strong, the dial is spotless and every single lume plot is still in tact. Just how we like them.

The watch is fully serviced by our watchmakers and comes with a 1-year warranty!
