VINTAGE CHARM WITH MODERN PEACE OF MIND - SERVICED & AUTHENTICATED ​For sale is a stunning 1969 Rolex Oyster Perpetual (Ref. 1002). This is the quintessential vintage Rolex: understated, timeless, and built like a tank. ​Unlike many vintage watches with unknown histories, this piece comes with provenance. It was professionally sourced, authenticated, and serviced by the highly respected Sonning Vintage Watches (UK) in September 2021. ​Mechanically Sound: Having been serviced by a specialist in 2021, the legendary Caliber 1570 movement is running strong. You are skipping the immediate need for a €500+ service that most vintage purchases require. ​Classic Config: The silver sunburst dial with stick indices is the cleanest, most versatile look Rolex ever produced. It pairs perfectly with a suit or a t-shirt. ​EU Location: Shipping from Portugal. Buyers within the EU pay ZERO customs duties or VAT. ​CONDITION REPORT: ​Dial: Original "T Swiss T" silver sunburst dial in excellent condition. All tritium lume plots are present and have aged to a warm creamy patina. ​Case: 34mm Stainless Steel case. Lugs remain thick and sharp, retaining the classic Oyster profile. ​Movement: Rolex Caliber 1570 Automatic (Chronometer Certified). This is widely regarded as one of the most robust mechanical movements ever built. ​Note on Reference: The watch is visually a Ref. 1002 (Smooth Bezel). The dealer paperwork from 2021 lists it as a "1003" (Engine Turned Bezel), which is likely a clerical error on their part or indicates a past caseback swap common in vintage collecting. The serial number on the watch matches the paperwork perfectly. ​INCLUDED IN THE SALE: ​The Watch: Rolex Oyster Perpetual (Ref. 1002). ​The Paperwork: Original Authenticity & Warranty Card from Sonning Vintage Watches (Dated Sept 2021). ​The Invoice: Original purchase receipt/valuation from 2021 (£3,325 value). ​Strap: Black Leather strap with steel buckle. ​TECHNICAL SPECS: ​Year: 1969 (Serial 2.15M) ​Case Size: 34mm (Wears larger due to Oyster case shape) ​Crystal: Acrylic (Plexiglass) ​Lug Width: 19mm ​Watch is located in Portugal.
