This Rolex Date, reference 1500, is a striking example of understated elegance, blending classic design with a unique and eye-catching dial configuration. The matte black dial immediately draws attention with its velvety texture, a rare and highly sought-after variation that contrasts beautifully against the striking gold hour markers and matching gold hands. This warm, high-contrast combination adds both depth and refinement, giving the watch a timeless appeal that effortlessly transitions from casual to formal wear.  Rolex Sigma dials, marked with “σ T SWISS T σ” at the bottom, were produced mainly in the 1970s to indicate that the hour markers and hands were made of solid 18k gold. Introduced during a time of economic uncertainty, the Sigma symbol reassured buyers of the watch’s intrinsic value. Today, these dials are prized by collectors for their rarity, elegance, and historical significance. The watch is fitted on its original Oyster bracelet, which has been professionally polished white the movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker to Rolex factory standards; ensuring it not only looks stunning but performs flawlessly.  With its perfect balance of vintage charm and modern wearability, this reference 1500 is a standout piece for any collector or enthusiast seeking a Rolex that feels both classic and quietly bold.
