Rolex | Ref. 1002

Sold

Oyster Perpetual 14K!

The Oyster Perpetual Reference 1002 stands for timeless elegance, reduction to the essentials, and uncompromising quality. Crafted from 14-karat yellow gold, this model impresses with its clean design language and an aura that is rarely found in such originality today.

The case of this example is in exceptionally good condition and appears to have never been polished. The lugs are strong and full, all chamfers are clean and clearly visible, and the original waterfall polish on the top of the lugs is still completely preserved.
Since the watch has not been worn in recent years, the case flanks have developed a beautiful, natural oxidation that gives the gold a warm, honest patina and impressively underscores the vintage character.

Another highlight is the champagne-colored tritium dial, which presents itself in a dream condition. The luminous dots have developed a harmonious, even patina and are perfectly complemented by the matching original tritium hands, giving the overall appearance a harmonious and authentic aura.

Inside, the proven Rolex Caliber 1520 is at work, a robust and reliable automatic movement that is known for its longevity and precision.

This watch dates from 1979 and overall presents itself as an honest, untouched collector's item with exceptional case substance and beautiful patina.
