Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 14k solid gold ref. 15017 circa 1986 A solid gold Rolex…mic drop. During the 1970-1980s, 14k gold we the most precious metal that would be imported into the States but to import taxes—therefore—we know this piece was intended for the USA market and stayed stateside. We point his out as the Day Date 1803 is an 18k creation. The 1500 series is arguably a perfectly proportioned piece and clearly inspires the modern popular OP series today. This 15017 features an engine turned style gold bezel (similar to the steel 15010) and it frames a lovely patina’d metallic toffee colored dial that will ghost in certain angles. Overall, the watch appears to have minimal signs of polish as all the factory finish and textures are distinguishable. On the back of the watch, the marks are the gold hallmark stamps and there are also marks where the original bracelet sat—we are offering this on a on suede strap. While no service history, the watch looks very healthy on timegrapher and quickset snaps like it should. Manual winding is a bit rough but automatic watches are meant to be self-wound and the manual should only be used to jumpstart ultimately to preserve the parts. The quickset occasionally sticks ever 14-15 days but can be manually advanced. ____________________________ * specs: 35mm case (measuring 8-2) and 34mm if only measuring bezel X 19 lug width X 42h (lug to lug) X 12.5cc including acrylic * Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/bxvDPmQ * pics & More: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f2Ka3SIojb-Ph7F0xbzv6DCEBz-pIC48 * no box or papers * 911…serial # ____________________________ ___________________________________ * Video is the best way to view the watch if in-person test drive is not available.
