ROLEX VINTAGE DATE – Ref. 1500 – 18k Yellow Gold – Black Tritium Dial – Automatic – Circa 1973 – Excellent Condition

We are pleased to offer this elegant Rolex Date Ref. 1500, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and fitted with a high-quality crocodile leather strap and matching 18k yellow gold Rolex pin buckle.

This vintage piece features a factory original matte black dial with tritium lume plots and hands — a rare and desirable configuration that brings striking contrast and legibility to this classic Rolex design.

The 34mm Oyster case is well-preserved, showing sharp lugs and retaining excellent proportions. The smooth yellow gold bezel frames the black dial beautifully, lending the watch a clean, understated elegance. The applied yellow gold hour markers and tritium-filled hands complete the cohesive vintage aesthetic, while the signature date window at 3 o’clock with cyclops magnifier underscores the model’s practical appeal.

Powered by the reliable automatic Rolex Caliber 1570, the watch delivers robust timekeeping performance. This reference does not include a quickset function, keeping with the traditional mechanical charm of early Rolex movements. The original signed crown and acrylic crystal further affirm the integrity and period-correctness of this 1973 example.

Fitted with a supple leather strap and Rolex-signed 18k yellow gold buckle, this Ref. 1500 is a refined vintage timepiece suitable for both daily wear and collection-worthy display.

“The Rolex Date Ref. 1500 in 18k yellow gold with black tritium dial embodies understated luxury — a perfect balance of perfect proportions and iconic style.”
