In 1926, Rolex launched its first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch, appropriately named the 'Oyster'. The airtight seal gives this case the utmost protection of up to 100 metres. Jumping a few decades to the 1960s, reference 1005 makes its debut and becomes an instant classic, with the 34 mm diameter allowing for unisex wear. The pink gold makes this a rare collector's find, accompanied with an elegant and attractive black dial. The present lot is in an excellent condition, making it a worthy and sleek addition to any collection.
