Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 34 (1997)

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date shares the enduring design language of the Datejust while retaining its own distinctive 34mm proportions. The Ref. 15223 combines the practicality of Rolex's automatic date display with classic two-tone construction, creating an elegant and versatile example of the collection from the 1990s.

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 15223 features a 34mm Oyster case in stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, paired with a champagne dial and applied baton hour markers. The date display at 3 o'clock sits beneath Rolex's signature Cyclops lens, while a sapphire crystal and two-tone Oyster bracelet in stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold complete its classic aesthetic.

Powering the watch is the Rolex calibre 3135 automatic movement, one of the brand's most respected chronometer calibres, offering an approximately 48-hour power reserve. Offered with box and papers. Circa 1997. As with all vintage timepieces, we do not recommend wearing this watch in or around water, regardless of its original water resistance rating. Covered by our 24 month J.
