2002 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Silver Dial 34mm 15200

Here we have a 2002 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Silver Dial 34mm 15200, featuring a 34mm 316L stainless steel Oyster case with polished and brushed surfaces that transition smoothly to crisp edges. Gently sloping lugs elegantly taper to a lug-to-lug length of 42.5mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown. A bevelled polished bezel holds a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal above a striking sunburst silver dial, an outer minute track with Tritium pips, and fine applied faceted baton indexes mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a cyclops magnification above the date window. Polished baton hands feature Tritium infill, complemented by a tapered, sweeping seconds hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the Rolex motif “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date” printed underneath, and at 6 o’clock, we have “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified”. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, inside an automatic Rolex calibre 3135, 31 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, is fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, making it much more resistant to shocks and temperature variations. The watch comes fitted on its original 19mm Rolex Oyster stainless steel bracelet with its Rolex-signed folding clasp; the bracelet will fit up to a 7.1-inch wrist.

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and, therefore, comes with no original Rolex box or Rolex paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original 19mm Rolex Oyster bracelet with its signed folding clasp; the bracelet will fit up to a 7.1-inch wrist. The watch is from Circa. 2002 and is being sold in a worn condition, but it is still in very fair condition, with a lovely silver Tritium dial and hands, as shown in the provided photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

As the proud owner of a Rolex 6694, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15200 feels like the perfect step up in build quality without losing the charm of a slightly older Rolex. This model from 2002 comes with a super crisp and sharp case, a solid bracelet with minimal stretch and a lovely silver dial - the perfect combination. This, to me, is what Rolex is all about: doing the simple things perfectly. I would not hesitate to add this great watch to your collection today!

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements which are installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. They released the Datejust in 1945. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases, such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field-resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960 saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
