From The Curator
Breathtaking in its vintage charm, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date boasts a unique, naturally aged aesthetic. Its original deep blue finish has developed a highly sought after “stardust” patina, where subtle degradation from decades of wear reveals glittering specks of the underlying base plate. Housed in a classic 34mm stainless steel case, it features a yellow gold engine turned bezel and a matching two-tone Oyster bracelet, completing this beautifully sporty icon.
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal and is shipped carefully and fully insured.

About The Brand
Rolex is arguably the most famous brand in the world when it comes to luxury timepieces. Their brand equity is through the roof, and you’d be hard pressed to find another luxury watchmaker who can make watch geeks and non-geeks alike incredibly stoked. Their quality is second to none, and it makes sense that until this day, when someone thinks about James Bond, Magnum P.I. or Glengarry Glen Ross, they think of Rolex.
