Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date – Ref. 15010 – 1982 – Full Set

A classic Rolex from the early 1980s, this Oyster Perpetual Date reference 15010 combines timeless design with the practical elegance that has made the Oyster collection so enduring.

The stainless steel case measures 34mm and features the distinctive engine-turned bezel, an attractive alternative to the more commonly encountered smooth and fluted variations. The silver dial is fitted with applied baton hour markers, elegant hands and the iconic Rolex crown at 12 o'clock. The date display at 3 o'clock, magnified by the characteristic Cyclops lens, completes this beautifully balanced design.

Inside is the Rolex calibre 3035, a self-winding mechanical movement introduced in the late 1970s. Featuring a quickset date function and operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it represents an important development in Rolex's Oyster Perpetual Date collection.

The watch is fitted with a stainless steel Jubilee bracelet, providing a refined contrast to the engine-turned bezel and giving the watch a particularly elegant presence on the wrist.

An additional attraction is its full-set presentation. Accompanying the watch are its Rolex presentation box, official chronometer certificate and original translation booklet. Finding a vintage example with its accompanying documentation is always a welcome bonus for collectors.

A timeless and versatile vintage Rolex, combining classic proportions, practical functionality and a complete presentation from the early 1980s.
