OUT OF STOCK
Ideal for the office, dinner reservations or a refined weekend, this vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 34mm pairs a stainless steel case and Oyster bracelet with a smooth bezel and silver date dial. Its versatile 34mm profile and automatic movement offer understated elegance and everyday practicality, taking you seamlessly from boardroom to evening plans.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Which movement powers the Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 15200? A: The ref. 15200 uses Rolex calibre 3135, an automatic chronometer movement with a quickset date and hacking seconds. It runs at 28,800 vph with an approximate 48–50 hour power reserve.
Q: What are the size and lug width, and will it fit my wrist? A: The case measures 34 mm and the lug width is 19 mm. On this example, the Oyster bracelet currently fits a wrist up to about 17.5 cm; you can add links or fit any straight 19 mm strap if you need a different size.
Q: Is this a unisex watch? A: Yes. The classic 34 mm Oyster case wears elegantly on a wide range of wrist sizes, making the 15200 a versatile choice for both men and women.
Q: Can I swim with it? A: When new, the 15200’s Oyster case is rated to 100 metres. For a circa 1995 watch, water resistance depends on the condition of gaskets and crown seals. Only swim after a recent, documented pressure test and with the crown fully screwed down; avoid hot tubs/saunas and sudden temperature changes.
Q: What luminous material does a mid‑1990s 15200 use? A: Most mid‑1990s examples use tritium lume and show “Swiss T<25” at 6 o’clock. Around 1998 Rolex moved to Luminova with “SWISS” dials, then to Super‑LumiNova marked “SWISS MADE” from about 1999; service dials may vary.
Q: What crystal does this model have? A: The 15200 is fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal.
Q: How often should I service it? A: Rolex suggests roughly every 10 years as a baseline. For older pieces, many watchmakers recommend every 5–7 years depending on use. If you plan water exposure, have the seals and water resistance checked annually.
Q: How is the Date 15200 different from the Datejust? A: The Date 15200 has a 34 mm case and a simpler steel, smooth‑bezel format with fewer dial/bracelet combinations than the 36 mm Datejust, while sharing the robust Oyster architecture and related calibre family.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. This piece is offered watch‑only as stated there.
Q: What does the serial number W764493 indicate? A: The W‑prefix serial corresponds to approximately 1995 (some extend into 1996), aligning with the listed production year.
