Pre-Owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 40921740/AS06449

WHY WE LOVE IT

When it comes to "budget" Rolex, there are few watches more attractive than an Oyster Perpetual - and the Oyster Perpetuals of the 1960s and 1970s remain some of Rolex's best-loved timepieces.

As a non-professional Rolex model, the Oyster Perpetual line is arguably overlooked by collectors today, despite being the most 'pure' successor to the original waterproof Oyster-cased Rolexes from the last century. All it takes is a strap change to transform this watch go a tuxedo accoutrement to a field watch or BBQ grill timer. When you factor in that they have been made available in a broad variety of fun dial color configurations, the appeal grows even more.

This particular watch, a Reference 15233, dates to circa 1990 and features a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case with 'holey' lugs, a later luminous glossy white dial with applied block indices and a matching stick handset, and a smooth polished steel bezel. Fitted to a matching Oyster bracelet with a signed blade clasp, this piece packs a big punch in the value department for those looking for a more traditional wearing experience.

These timepieces are incredibly versatile for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in fantastic condition overall showing recent professional refinishing and faint wear from careful handling. Luminous gloss white service dial with applied 'block' and 'Arabic' indices is in outstanding, as-new condition with matching handset. Signed crown.
