A Rolex Oyster Perpetual, reference 1005, in steel and yellow gold with a champagne dial and the automatic calibre 1560, offered as a watch head without strap.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and the Oyster Perpetual, its self-winding watch in the waterproof Oyster case, is the model from which the house's whole range grew.
Reference 1005 is a two-tone Oyster Perpetual with a champagne dial and an acrylic crystal, powered by the automatic calibre 1560. The serial begins 13, which places it in the mid-1960s. It runs, and the crown winds and sets the time.
The case is 34 mm (1.34 in) across, excluding the crown. The acrylic crystal has scratches and a shallow crack, the case shows scratches and small dents, and the dial and hands show age marks and some discolouration. It is offered as a watch head only, without strap or bracelet, and its rate has not been timed, so it should be serviced before regular wear.
