The "Oyster Perpetual Date" reference 1500 is slightly younger and a little smaller than the Datejust. This fine watch comes in a 35 mm steel case and features a magnificent, delicately shimmering dial with slim indexes as well as a date magnifier – certainly an exceptionally attractive, classic Rolex timepiece for every occasion.
