The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

For both men and women, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is the perfect watch to wear on a daily basis. Measuring 34mm with the well-known Cyclops-lens from the Rolex Datejust it’s a sporty but yet elegant watch. The Oyster Perpetual Date comes in different dial colors and has a long history within the Rolex collection.

Oyster with Date

The history of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

The first ever water-resistant wristwatch was one of the Rolex Oyster models. With the Oyster dating back from the 1920s with a date marked on the dial, it’s becoming one of the most sought-after watches ever since. A pretty cool fact: back in the day, Rolex used to advertise their Oyster watches alongside live goldfish in a small aquarium, so that you could see that it is water-resistant. Rolex produced the Oyster Perpetual Date back in the 1950s and comes as a model between the Rolex Air-King and the Rolex Datejust. Unlike the Air-King, the Oyster Perpetual Date has a date display with the Cyclops-lens.

Since the launch of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date back in the 1950s, there are some vintage Oyster Perpetual watches available. The earlier models (reference 6534 and 6535) wear both a smooth, polished bezel while the 6535 wears an engine-turned bezel with slightly raised hour markers with fine fluting in between.

If you’re on the market for one of those early Oyster Perpetual watches, plan to spend around €4.5000 on a well-maintained watch on Wristler. 

In the 1960s, Rolex updated their Oyster Perpetual Date with a new caliber (1575) and they replaced radium with tritium, to illuminate the dial. You could opt for a stainless-steel model, but also the two-tone or yellow gold version of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date. The reference 1507 is one of those yellow gold watches: you will need to spend around €6.500 for a good piece.

The quickset date function was introduced back in the 1980s with another new movement: the 3035. The stainless-steel reference 15000 with a smooth bezel cost you €6.000.

Special editions of the Oyster Perpetual Date

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is, just like the Oyster Perpetual, made of 904L stainless-steel which is scratch and corrosion resistant. Besides these advantages of the Oyster Perpetual, it has a Twinlock-screw-down crown attached to the stainless-steel Oyster case. It protects the movement for water up to 10 bar (100 meters) and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial. The dial colors on the Oyster Perpetual Date differ, because you can opt for a silver or black dial, but also for rose, dark blue or champagne on the 18-karat gold version of the Rolex watch. 

With some of the dials, you could opt for diamond hour indices back in the day. For example, the reference 115234 feature five diamond indices on the dial for the odd hours, while the even hours are marked with the Arabic numerals. These watches are popular amongst collectors and enthusiasts and thus cost you a little more compared to the more regular fitted Oyster Perpetual Date models from Rolex. 

Prices of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date

While the Oyster Perpetual Date differs with its Cyclops lens from the regular Oyster Perpetual, prices have been rising the past years. You can wear a pre-owned or vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 15010 from around €4.000 on Wristler with a stainless-steel case and an engine-turned bezel with a silver dial. If you’re in the market for the full yellow gold version, you have to bring €6.500 to the table for a well-maintained reference 15038. 

The most expensive Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is probably the reference 115234 with a white gold bezel which is fluted, a black dial and a stainless-steel case. Of course, worn on a beautiful Oyster-bracelet which can be found on different watches like the Submariner, Daytona or Datejust
