Rolex Oyster Perpetual 5015

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 5015 is a captivating example from the celebrated “Bubbleback” era of the 1940s. These timepieces are distinguished by their prominent, convex casebacks, an elegant solution to house the brand’s innovative self-winding “Perpetual” movements. The reference 5015, with its classic proportions and timeless design, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of its time. Emerging in the post-war landscape, with production centered around 1947 and 1948, the reference 5015 was a cornerstone of the Oyster Perpetual line. It was produced in a range of materials including stainless steel, 14k/18k yellow gold, and two-tone “Rolesor.” The case measures 32mm with a 17mm lug width and an approximate 39mm lug-to-lug distance, housing the reliable Rolex Caliber 630 (9 3/4 ligne) automatic movement.
