A stunning Rolex Oyster Perpetual, reference 1005, housed in a 34mm 18k rose gold case. This beautiful vintage gold Rolex offers something rare for a Rolex, understated elegance. Its simple case design and elegant sunburst dial combined with chronometer-rated automatic movement make for a tremendous sleeper watch (as much as an 18k gold Rolex can anyway!).
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual gets its name from two major Rolex innovations: the waterproof Oyster case and the self-winding Perpetual movement, both of which were introduced during the company's early years. They worked together to change the perception of the wristwatch from a delicate accessory to a rugged and essential accompaniment.
