The 1972 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1550 is a refined example of vintage Rolex, combining classic proportions with the warm tones of its 34mm gold-plated case and domed gold bezel.
Its elegant platinum pearl-coloured dial creates a distinctive contrast against the gold case, while the highly regarded automatic Calibre 1570 provides the robust and reliable performance for which vintage Rolex movements are renowned.
Finished on a premium brown leather strap with a Rolex buckle, the watch is presented with both Rolex boxes and original swing tags. A beautifully preserved vintage Rolex combining timeless styling, excellent provenance and enduring collector appeal.
