The Life of the Watch

The Rolex reference 1500 is an iconic piece steeped in heritage. Launched in 1962, it's caliber 1570 is chronometer certified and runs beautifully. This reference comes with a 18k smooth bezel and is a perfect representation of what the 60's were about with its beautiful blue, clean dial. To make things even better, it comes with the original Rolex box and its original braclet. 

This watch was sourced from a collector in Texas who had bought it at an auction. The collector did not wear it very much. The original owner was an electric engineer who only wore this watch for special occasions. He would wear his Timex when he worked, but if he was wearing a suit, would take out his beloved Rolex.
