Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1500 Date Purple Mosaic 1978

If you want a classic Rolex workhorse watch that looks effortless, look no further. This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Reference 1500 is really a watch anyone will look good today and 50 years from now. The Oyster Perpetual Date has been in production since the late 1950s, and not much has changed.

A solid stainless steel case with a clean bezel and a beautiful and very rare blue mosaic dial and golden hands and hour markers keep the appearance simple and elegant. What makes the piece so unique is the evenly developed patina throughout the dial with a purple hue. No movement pictures because it was pressure tested.
