Rolex - Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 - Two Tone - Box & Papers / *Unpolished*
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual remains one of the brand's most refined and "no frills" designs to this day. Going back several decades, the ref. 100X is without a doubt one of Rolex' most beautiful, yet simple creations. Anyone with an average-sized wrist will find that the 34mm vintage case on this reference is as elegant on bracelet as it is on a strap.
This particular two-tone example, circa 1988 is a collectors dream for anyone hunting the ref. 1005. The watch itself remains in stunning vintage condition with a mint dial/hands displaying clean tritium that has aged to a warm patina. The case/bracelet have remained unpolished. The bracelet displays light stretch and will fit an approximate 7.5 inch wrist. The icing on the cake here is the addition of original warranty papers, inner and outer boxes, booklet, folder, polish cloth and style tag. Its tough to beat the charm and versatility the vintage OP and we could not be more thrilled to offer this set to its next custodian.
