Description
Steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometer Ref. 1002 vintage wristwatch, circa 1965
A stainless steel automatic centre seconds wristwatch
A classic automatic Oyster model, the Rolex Ref. 1002 was similarly styled to the Air-King models but was fitted with a higher grade chronometer rated movement. The dial on the present watch is a Rolex service replacement dial dating to the mid 1980s which has a handsome, light champagne satin finish and applied stepped indexes. The robust stainless steel Rolex Oyster case has a smooth polished bezel and typical screw-down Rolex crown and case back.
This watch is fitted with a Christopher Clark for Black Bough handmade Shell Cordovan leather strap.
