ROLEX Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500 Tropical Camo Dial Box and Papers (1969)

Not all Rolex OP's are created equal....!

Here is an astonishing Oyster Perpetual Date with original black dial having turned what I like to call Tropical Camo - utterly inimitable, totally unique and sure to put a smile on your face - with tones of burgundy through ochre to black, time has had indeed had a fine time with this watch, with all text printing perfectly intact and shining through the wood effect patina

The case is solid, having been lightly polished in the past, and is accompanied by a USA Jubilee bracelet with 574 endlinks, a favourite of mine, in particular with watches of this period
