1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500 Automatic Watch

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500 is a classic vintage Rolex wristwatch known for its understated elegance, practical functionality, and robust Swiss watchmaking. Produced primarily during the 1960s and 1970s, the reference 1500 combines the timeless design of Rolex's Oyster case with an automatic mechanical movement and a date display at 3 o'clock. With its compact proportions, clean dial,and smooth polished bezel, it offers an alternative to the larger Rolex Datejust while retaining much of the same traditional design language.

• Lugs: Features a 19mm lug width tapering down toward the bracelet clasp. The case is equipped with drilled lug holes, which allows the spring bars to be compressed easily from the outside for fast strap changes.

• Cal. 1575 automatic movement.
