Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 1024 Automatic Model

Rolex’s celebrated Oyster Perpetual, Ref. 1024. This is a distinctive gold-filled model produced around 1970. This rare combination of a gold-filled case and bracelet with an Automatic movement gives it an appearance that can be difficult to distinguish from a solid-gold Oyster Perpetual. The 34mm dial paired with an Oyster rivet bracelet creates a characterful vintage presence. The dial has a beautiful sunburst finish and is in excellent condition, while the case and bracelet are also exceptionally well preserved, making this a particularly rare example. Because it is Automatic and has no date, there is no need for date adjustment, making it convenient for everyday wear. It is also a model whose value has risen considerably in recent years. The movement is the highly reliable Cal. 1570. The 1970s Cal. 1570 includes a hacking function that stops the hands, allowing it to be used in much the same way as a modern model and making it a practical Automatic movement for daily wear.
