The Oyster Perpetual Date reference 1501 is no doubt a classic, shown here with a beautiful diamond bezel. The Rolex Date model is a bit more under-the-radar than the iconic Datejust models, but it’s not to be underestimated. This reference 1501 is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date with a bit more character, thanks to the diamond bezel that adds a bit of pizzazz to the otherwise quietly elegant design. The silver dial is still crisp and has the beautiful sunburst finish that reflects nicely under various lights, adding an extra dimension to the dial. Otherwise, the watch is classic Rolex with silver baton indexes, luminous hands, and of course, the Cyclops window over the date window to seal the deal. If you want a classic silver dial with a little something extra, this watch is not to be missed.
