This Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1002 was sold in February 1990 and has been kept in the safe for very many years. The NOS condition and original full set make this watch a rare and special find.
Perhaps the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a rather understated and simple model, but that is exactly what makes it classic and timeless. With the reference 1002, Rolex created another durable and high-quality timepiece that will run smoothly and accurately for generations.
The beautiful gray dial with a sunburst finish is housed in the stainless steel oyster case with a smooth bezel. But the real special feature of this watch lies in its condition. The Rolex sticker with the reference number 1002 on the back looks absolutely new and indicates a nearly unworn condition. But also the stainless steel case without any signs of wear and the Oyster stainless steel bracelet, whose clasp still resists when you try to fold it, emphasize the pristine condition of this watch. A true safe queen!
Of course, with such a watch, the original accessories should not be missing. The wonderful Full Set includes:
- the chronometer certificate with perforated serial number L635xxx (1990) and country code 188 (Italy), sold in Milan on February 28, 1990, the paper has a label showing the reference 1002 and the serial number of the watch,
- Rolex warranty translation,
- booklet in Italian,
- Rolex calendar 1990/1991,
- leather warranty holder,
- Presentation box,
- outer box.
