Very Good Condition
This vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6730 from 1997 is crafted in stainless steel and remains in very good condition, with light marks and scratches to the case and Jubilee bracelet. Featuring a blue dial with silver-tone hands, index hour markers and an engine-turned bezel, it is an elegant choice for both everyday wear and polished occasions.
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: What size does this Rolex Oyster Perpetual wear? A: This is a petite vintage Rolex, listed as 25mm and measuring approximately 26mm across the case. It is ideal for smaller wrists or for anyone who prefers a refined, classic watch rather than an oversized look.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: The bracelet is currently sized to approximately 16.5 cm wrist perimeter. A watchmaker can usually adjust the fit, but if you need it made larger, additional links may need to be sourced separately if they are not included with the watch.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: It is an Oyster Perpetual model, which means it is an automatic self-winding mechanical watch. It runs from wrist movement and does not require a battery. If it has not been worn for a while, it may need a gentle manual wind before use.
Q: Does this watch have a date function? A: No. This Oyster Perpetual has the classic three-hand layout and displays hours, minutes and seconds only, which is part of the model’s clean and timeless appeal.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes. The Oyster Perpetual is one of Rolex’s most versatile everyday designs, and this piece combines a stainless steel case, Jubilee bracelet, blue dial and engine-turned bezel for an elegant look that can be worn casually or more formally.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this vintage watch? A: Rolex Oyster models are designed for water resistance, but with a pre-owned watch from 1997 it is best to be cautious unless it has been pressure-tested recently. We recommend avoiding water exposure until its water resistance has been professionally checked.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: This piece is listed in very good condition. It shows light marks and scratches to the case and bracelet, which are consistent with age and normal wear and form part of its vintage character.
Q: Does it come with box, papers or other original items? A: No original box, papers or other accompanying items are included with this watch. Everything provided with the piece is stated in the product information, and this listing is sold as the watch only.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Rolex like this? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth, keep the crown properly screwed down, avoid harsh chemicals and heavy knocks, and have it checked or serviced by a qualified watch specialist when needed. Regular professional checks help support accuracy and water resistance.
Q: How do you authenticate the watch? A: At A Retro Tale, each watch is carefully inspected for overall construction, finishing, dial details, serial and reference information, and other brand-specific markers before being offered for sale.
