Rolex’s impact on modern watchmaking is, to put it delicately, noteworthy. For instance, the brand has a model in its lineup that carries the name of the first-ever hermetically sealed case – the Oyster – which Rolex introduced in 1926. The example on offer here – ref. 15200 – dates to 1990 and it might very well be one of the classiest and most pure iterations of the iconic model.
The watch comes outfitted with a sharp 34 mm Oyster case, whose finely-brushed topside contrasts the smooth, high-polished bezel. The white dial is adorned with polished baton hour markers and features black inner Roman numerals and black outer minute divisions. The faceted baton hands are also polished so that they complement the bezel and markers. Of course, the emblematic cyclops date magnifier also makes an appearance, tying the design together wonderfully. The ref. 15200 is powered by the renowned caliber 3135 – a certified superlative chronometer.
Our offering is in excellent condition and comes equipped with its original 78350 Oyster bracelet. Ticking perfectly.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
