This Rolex Date, reference 15053, is a 34mm case in Steel and Yellow Gold used condition, featuring a Champagne Stick dial, a Engine turned YG bezel, a Oyster bracelet, dated circa 1981. Priced dealer-direct and shipped fully insured.
Collectors come to the Date for restraint and vintage proportions. The 34mm case carries the mainstream references, while ladies' variants like ref. 6917 sit at 26mm. Metal sets the price fast: steel at the low end, two-tone Rolesor a step up, solid yellow gold near the top. Sigma and tropical dials pull specialist premiums. Original, undamaged dials and matching bracelets are what move at fair trade numbers. Read the full Date buying guide ›
Hans Wilsdorf started this in 1905, and the Geneva manufacture has set the standard for mechanical watches ever since. Rolex pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and the Date display, building a name on precision and durability. The Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens are known worldwide. Steel sport references like the Submariner, GMT-Master II, and Daytona trade above retail, so wire pricing puts real money back in your pocket. Browse all Rolex ›
