Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15200

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15200 is a stainless steel model introduced in the late 1980s and produced through the early 2000s, offering a clean and practical execution of Rolex’s classic Date formula. It features a 34mm Oyster case with a smooth bezel, delivering a straightforward and versatile aesthetic well-suited to daily wear. The reference includes a screw-down crown and caseback along with a sapphire crystal—an upgrade from the acrylic crystals used in its predecessors—providing added scratch resistance and modern durability. The 15200 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a quickset date function and an approximately 48-hour power reserve, recognized for its precision and robust performance. Dial options spanned a wide range of colors, including white, black, silver, and blue, with applied baton markers and matching stick hands enhancing its legibility and timeless charm. With a lug-to-lug measurement of 41mm and a 19mm lug width, the watch preserves the balanced proportions of earlier models while incorporating updated mechanics and materials. The 15200 is appreciated for combining vintage sizing with modern features, making it a strong entry point into the Rolex world or a durable, understated addition to any collection.
