Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Two-Tone 1505

This watch is in excellent condition for its age.

The Oyster Perpetual Date is, in all but name, a slightly smaller Datejust. Instead of the ubiquitous 36mm case size, it's a tad smaller at 34mm. This makes it perfect for those with smaller wrists. At the same time, the difference is barely noticeable, which is perhaps why Rolex chose to give it a different name. It has the same iconic cyclops as the Datejust, and is aesthetically more or less identical.

ROLEX

Known by many simply as "the Crown", Rolex has certainly done much to deserve its reputation. From its founding just over a century ago by a German immigrant in the UK, Rolex has grown to become an international behemoth, recognisable (and indeed visible) across the globe.

Compared to other modern watchmakers, Rolex is in the near-unique position where its vintage watches have developed an almost entirely distinct collector base. It's no surprise, however, given the diversity and iconic status of so many Rolex models. The vintage Rolex community has arguably brought vintage watch collecting into the mainstream by shedding light on the beauty of old, worn watches which had so long been ignored by most.
