This Rolex Date, reference 1500, is a 34mm case in Yellow Gold used condition, featuring a Silver Stick dial, a Smooth YG bezel, a Head only bracelet, dated circa 1959. Priced dealer-direct and shipped fully insured.
Discontinued around 2001 to 2003 as Rolex consoliDated behind the Datejust, the Date now trades as the understated, wearable end of the perpetual range. Early 1500 and 1501 movements are non-quickset; the 15000 series refined the cases and added quickset date. Pricing runs $4,347 to $9,936, with steel offering honest value and gold near the ceiling. Prioritize unpolished cases and original dials. That's where the liquidity lives. Read the full Date buying guide ›
Think of a Rolex as both a watch and a position you can exit. The 1905 Geneva manufacture, started by Hans Wilsdorf, pioneered waterproof cases, self-winding movements, and Date functions, earning a precision reputation that runs past horology. The Oyster, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens need no introduction. Submariners, GMT-Master IIs, and Daytonas in steel trade above retail, which is why wire-versus-card savings change your real cost. Browse all Rolex ›
