Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15008 Description
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15008 is a full yellow gold model produced during the late 1970s and 1980s. It features a 34mm Oyster case crafted in 14k or 18k yellow gold and is paired with a polished smooth bezel for a more understated, dress-oriented presentation compared to fluted bezel counterparts. The watch is equipped with an acrylic crystal featuring the Cyclops magnifier over the date aperture at 3 o’clock and includes a screw-down crown and caseback for water resistance. Inside is the Rolex Caliber 3035, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a quickset date function and approximately 48 hours of power reserve, regarded for its precision and longevity. Dial configurations typically include champagne, white, and silver options, with applied gold baton markers and stick hands for classic readability and elegance. The 15008 has a lug-to-lug length of 41mm and a lug width of 19mm, delivering traditional proportions suited for refined everyday wear. This reference remains attractive to collectors and enthusiasts looking for a vintage Rolex in full gold that balances simplicity, size, and mechanical performance.
