Oyster Perpetual Date 15038

A beautiful example of an Oyster Perpetual Date, reference 15038. This timeless masterpiece is crafted in luxurious 18ct yellow gold. This rare example remains in unpolished condition, preserving sharp lines, a testament to its careful ownership over the decades. Produced in the late 1980s, this watch exudes vintage charm while maintaining the enduring elegance and precision Rolex is renowned for.

This piece is offered as a complete collector’s set, including its original Rolex box, papers, and purchase receipt, documenting its sale in Hong Kong in 1988.

Adding to its provenance, the iconic green swing tag bearing the matching serial number is also included, making this a truly remarkable find.

The 34mm case houses the reliable Rolex Caliber 3035 automatic movement, featuring a quick-set date function displayed at 3 o’clock with the signature Cyclops lens for enhanced readability.

Unpolished and untouched by modern refinishing, this Rolex 15038 retains its authentic patina and character, paired with its full complement of original accessories.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of horological history from one of the world’s most prestigious watchmakers, this Oyster Perpetual Date is as much a statement of style as it is a collector’s treasure.
