Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15000 Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15000 is a stainless steel model produced between the late 1970s and the late 1980s. It features a 34mm Oyster case with a smooth polished bezel, providing a minimalist and versatile aesthetic. This reference is equipped with an acrylic crystal incorporating the Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock, a screw-down crown, and a screw-down caseback, ensuring water resistance and durability. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3035, an automatic chronometer-rated movement with a quickset date function and approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Dials were produced in a range of colors, including black, silver, blue, and champagne, typically paired with baton indices and stick hands for legibility and classic presentation. The lug-to-lug measurement is 41mm, and the lug width is 19mm, maintaining traditional Rolex mid-size proportions. The 15000 remains a popular choice among collectors and vintage enthusiasts for its robust movement, clean styling, and accessible case size, representing one of the most iconic entry points into vintage Rolex ownership.
