An extraordinary condition Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref 1508 circa 1979. Featuring a truly mint condition, likely unworn 34mm diameter case with ultra sharp as new fluted bezel, beefy unpolished lugs. And stunning condition original champagne dial with applied gold indexes, gilt baton hands, and protected by an acrylic crystal.

Fitted with the original South American contract 18K YG D link Jubilee bracelet with deployant clasp. The clasp is signed K 18 D.A. which is the designation for the South American manufacturer who produced bracelets for imported Rolexes. The current bracelet is further noteworthy as a properly tapered Jubilee bracelet for this model. We typically see the 34mm gold Oyster Perpetual date model with an Oyster bracelet, or an ill fitting Jubilee bracelet with end pieces trimmed down from the 20mm size. The current bracelet tapers gently, and has a clasp in proportion to the bracelet, and not the wider clasp of the 20mm.

Powered by caliber 1570 self winding chronometer rated movement with sweep seconds and non quick set date. Recently fully serviced by one of our veteran watchmakers and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

Your purchase includes one of our signature fine leather watch travel pouches, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 retail value.

Clarification of terms. Mint is often used by us and others to describe a watch in exceptional condition for its age. The current watch is more than mint, and appears to be as close to, or in fact, a unworn from 1979!
