Rolex - Oyster Perpetual Date - 1500 - Men - 1978

Timeless elegant 18K yellow gold (750) automatic luxury men's wristwatch from the ♛ROLEX manufacture house. The vintage high-fine classic from the year 1978. Officially Certified Chronometer C.O.S.C. Model: Oyster Date The Datejust has set the benchmark for luxury watches since 1945, when this Rolex wonder became the archetype of the modern watch. Inspired by and for the ocean, Datejusts revolution was a fully waterproof, automatic chronometer that framed a date in a window — the first of its kind the world had ever known. The elegant design of this Datejust features a shimmering dial, and the Cyclops Eye of the scratch‑resistant crystal makes it one of the most famous watches in the world. The Oyster architecture consists of a 36-mm case and a bracelet, while reflecting the watch’s dignified appearance. The Datejust lends performance to style by displaying the date instantly and quickly and earning the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute certification for high precision. The screw-down crown of the Datejust uses Rolex’s double Twinlock system and provides water resistance up to 100 meters. Its innovative hairspring offers maximum resistance to shocks, temperature fluctuations, and magnetic fields. This Rolex is an iconic classic that adorns the wrists of many world leaders in every field. With the purchase of the Datejust you receive the same classic look, with a soft feel and functional operation. Manufacturer: ♛ Rolex S.A., P.O.
