For sale at Debonar Watches: pre-owned Rolex Date 1501 with a deep blue dial on an Oyster bracelet. The key factor that separates the Rolex Date ref. 1501 from the standard Datejust of the same era is its slightly smaller case.

This watch presents a deep black dial. The dial also presents a Cyclops window above the date aperture for better clarity. An engine turned bezel, matching metal Oyster bracelet and screw-down crown complete the watch’s sleek look.Like other vintage Rolex watches, the reference 1501 Date is fitted with an acrylic crystal (plastic/plexiglass).Ref 1501 does not disappoint.
