Signed Rolex, Oyster Perpetual, Date, Superlative Chronometer Official Certified, the present watch is a spectacular example of reference 1500. The word Oyster was first used by Rolex in 1926 when they created the first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch and, moreover, the word Perpetual was fundamental because it put the brand with the crown on the map, as it was the first watch with an automatic movement. The Rolex Date Reference 1500 was introduced in the early 1960s and its 34 mm case diameter makes it fit naturally on most wrists with real comfort. The Rolex Date is a must-have in any collection, even more so when the dial features a special personalization, like the present lot. At 6 o’clock there is the logo SNAS (SAUDI NATIONAL AVIATION SERVICES), one of the seven Saudi-based air companies, focused on cargo flights.
