Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15238 Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15238 is a full gold reference produced primarily during the 1990s, combining elegant proportions with luxury materials and robust mechanics. It features a 34mm Oyster case in 18k yellow gold and is fitted with a matching fluted bezel, emphasizing its refined yet recognizable Rolex identity. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with the Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock adds both durability and utility to the piece. At its core is the Rolex Caliber 3135, a COSC-certified automatic movement with a quickset date mechanism and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, known for its stability and longevity. Dial variations were available in champagne, white, black, and other tones, typically with gold baton hour markers and stick hands to match the case. With a lug-to-lug measurement of 41mm and a lug width of 19mm, the watch remains true to classic sizing while delivering a luxurious presence. The 15238 is sought after by collectors who value vintage Rolex models with precious metal construction, mechanical dependability, and timeless aesthetics in a mid-sized format.
