34mm. Circa 1982. If you know a budding watch collector, one who appreciates the history and classic design of Rolex, you must point them in the direction of this Oyster Perpetual Date. The 34mm stainless steel case is the perfect size for everyday wear; subtle yet elegant. Though very similar to the modern Rolex design, this version maintains the aesthetic associated with vintage and collectible watches of the past. The crystal is raised acrylic, the Oyster bracelet has the subtle taper one would expect in a vintage watch and the tell-tale spring bar pin holes on the lugs tell the trained eye that this watch is at least 14 years old. This specific watch has a production year of 1982.
