Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 1500 - Rare “Tiffany & Co.” Argentè Dial

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 1500 - Rare "Tiffany & Co." Argentè Dial The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date reference 1500 is a timeless and versatile timepiece that effortlessly bridges the worlds of classic elegance and everyday reliability. Introduced in the early 1960s, the reference 1500 quickly established itself as a cornerstone of Rolex's catalogue, appreciated for its clean design, balanced proportions, and understated refinement. Early examples of the reference were fitted with the Rolex Calibre 1565, later replaced by the upgraded Calibre 1575 (stamped 1570), as found in the present example. This evolution brought an increased beat rate and improved chronometric stability, further reinforcing Rolex's reputation for technical excellence and long-term reliability. Housed in a 34 mm stainless steel Oyster case, the reference 1500 offers proportions that remain exceptionally wearable and well balanced on the wrist. True to the Oyster heritage, the robust, waterproof case ensures dependability in daily use, while the restrained design allows the watch to transition seamlessly from casual wear to more formal settings. This example is distinguished by its highly desirable double-signed dial bearing the "Tiffany & Co." signature, a feature that reflects the historic partnership between Rolex and the famed New York jeweller. Watches retailed through Tiffany & Co. were produced in limited numbers and are today among the most sought-after configurations for collectors, adding a significant layer of rarity and provenance to the piece. Completing the watch is its original riveted Oyster bracelet, correct for the period and highly appreciated for its vintage charm and lightweight comfort. The bracelet enhances the overall coherence of the watch, reinforcing its authentic 1970s character. Dating to 1972, this Rolex Date reference 1500 is preserved in very good condition and represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a classic stainless steel Rolex with a rare "Tiffany & Co." double-signed dial: a compelling combination of historical significance, collectability and everyday wearability.
