For sale is a Swiss Made Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date men's watch with reference number 15238, dating back to the year 2000. It features a 34mm 18k solid yellow gold case with fluted 18k yellow gold bezel. The dial on this particular example comes in a rare and stunning deep blue sunburst finish, with 2-4-6-8-10 gold tone numerals and lumed pips in between. Lumed gold tone stick hands indicate the time, and a calendar window can be seen at the 3 o'clock position through the signature Rolex lens bubble or "cyclop".
Inside the watch sits a Rolex 3135 movement, one of Rolex's most highly regarded mechanical movements. The screw-down crown is original, made from solid 18k yellow gold and decorated with the Rolex crown logo. Fitted to the watch comes the original 18k yellow gold riveted Oyster bracelet with 18k 7205A clasp.

The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good overall condition considering its age. The dial is looking really clean, with crisp text and undamaged finish. You will find some minor wear marks on both the case and bracelet. Said case has been cleaned entirely, but left unpolished to maintain its sharp edges, curves and original finish. Functionally, the watch is working accurately. Overall this is a great example of a relatively young yet vintage Rolex.
The watch comes with its original outer and inner box, as well as its paperwork: the chronometer attestation, a chronometer certificate translation booklet, and a "Your Rolex Oyster" booklet. I believe that all bracelet links are present as well: the watch will fit wrists with a circumference of up to approximately 20cm. According to the original receipt, the watch was purchased in september 2000 in Belgium.
