Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15223 Description
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15223 is a two-tone model produced from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, blending stainless steel with 18k yellow gold in a balanced and versatile design. It features a 34mm Oyster case with a polished smooth bezel made of solid gold, along with a screw-down crown and caseback to ensure water resistance. The watch is topped with a sapphire crystal including Rolex’s iconic Cyclops magnifier over the date window at 3 o’clock, offering both durability and legibility. At its core is the Rolex Caliber 3135, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a quickset date function and approximately 48 hours of power reserve, regarded for its reliability and long-term serviceability. Dial options for the 15223 include champagne, silver, black, and white, often paired with gold-tone baton hour markers and matching hands to complement the bi-metal case. The watch maintains a 41mm lug-to-lug measurement and 19mm lug width, preserving classic mid-size proportions. The 15223 is popular among collectors and wearers seeking a watch with subtle luxury, robust mechanics, and timeless styling in a compact and wearable format.
