On Offer today is a timeless yet understated model from the crown; the Oyster Perpetual Date 34, reference 15200 from 1990.
While seemingly ordinary, the 15200 somewhat of a near perfect reference for the smaller wrist, encompassing the elegant aesthetic of the non-maxi cases, while having the practicality of quickset & the reliability of Rolex’s calibre 3135.
Being one of the first Rolex’s I experienced in the flesh, I have a certain fondness towards the reference. The clear-cut smooth bezel paired with the oyster bracelet is no-frills combo that just does if.
While presented with surface wear, this particular 15200 dated to 1990 retains it’s original finishing, presenting with sharp lugs & a clear cut bezel - as well as the satin brushing collector’s have come to love. The classic silver dial also features a creamy tritium tone which pairs perfectly with the hands.
