Pre‑Owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm Ref. 1002 (1966)
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 1002 is a beautifully understated example of mid‑20th‑century Rolex design, celebrated for its clean aesthetics, robust construction, and timeless versatility. Produced during the golden era of Rolex tool watches, the reference 1002 embodies everything that made the Oyster Perpetual a cornerstone of the brand’s identity.
This 1966 example is presented in very good condition and is offered with its original box, adding desirable vintage charm. The watch features a classic silver sunburst dial, complemented by clean baton hour markers, creating a refined and highly legible layout that remains effortlessly elegant decades on.
Housed in a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case, the watch offers classic proportions that suit a wide range of wrists. It is powered by the highly regarded Rolex Calibre 1570 automatic movement, a legendary workhorse known for its durability, accuracy, and longevity. A period‑correct acrylic crystal completes the vintage profile, while the watch is fitted to a stainless steel Oyster bracelet for authentic Rolex styling.
