GOLD ROLEX.

Reference 1500 is one of the cleanest expressions of the classic Rolex Date. The compact 34 mm Oyster case, silver sunburst dial, and automatic movement give it the kind of proportion that works without trying too hard.

Here, the 14K yellow-gold case adds warmth while the baton markers, center seconds, and Cyclops date keep the watch unmistakably Rolex. The listing is for the watch head as photographed; a strap is not included.
