The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date from around 1970 is a classic of its era, combining the self-winding Perpetual movement with a practical date display in a clean, timeless case. Reference 1501 is a sought-after vintage model, and this example comes complete with its green Rolex box and guarantee papers, which add to its completeness and documentation. It is a well-rounded piece for collectors who value vintage Rolex and original accompaniments.

The silver dial is set with applied index markers and carries a Rolex crown, a date window at 3 o'clock, and "Oyster Perpetual Date" text. The 34mm stainless steel case has an engine-turned bezel and is presented on a stainless steel Rolex folded link bracelet, ref. 7835. There is light wear to the bezel, light wear to the edge of the dial at 12 o'clock, and hairline marks to the case and bracelet. The movement is currently running, and the crown sets and changes both the time and the date.
