Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 1510

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1510 is a relatively obscure vintage reference produced during the 1960s, notable for its use of 18k gold construction and traditional Rolex design cues. It features a 34mm Oyster case most commonly paired with a fluted bezel, an acrylic crystal with a Cyclops lens, and Rolex’s standard waterproofing elements—screw-down crown and caseback. This reference is powered by the Rolex Caliber 1570, an automatic chronometer-rated movement known for its durability, precision, hacking seconds, and a 48-hour power reserve. Dial variants typically leaned toward dressy configurations, including champagne, silver, and gold tones with applied baton markers and matching gold hands. The watch measures approximately 41mm lug-to-lug and has a lug width of 19mm, providing a well-proportioned wear on the wrist. Due to its low visibility in modern Rolex discourse and exclusive gold build, the ref. 1510 remains a niche yet attractive option for vintage collectors looking for an elegant and mechanically robust model from Rolex’s mid-century catalog.
