Rolex Date 1510 Zephyr Dial Morellis Finish 18k YG
Released in the mid-1950s following the release of the Rolex Datejust, the Rolex Date was a mid-sized version of the Datejust that featured all of its iconic design traits just within a smaller case. Swapping the Datejust’s relatively larger 36mm case for a more quaint 34mm case, the Date was a fashionable watch that fit in with the tastes and aesthetic that was popular during the 50s and 60s. Continuing to offer the Date long into the 2010s, Rolex provided the Date with a wide selection of dial variants, bezel options and case materials. Operating as a watch that could do it all, the Date was often constructed from an entirely gold case, much like the 18k ref. 1510 that we have here, which is mounted to a matching 18k gold bracelet. Boasting an all-gold aesthetic, this example’s champagne Zephyr dial combines with its 18kt yellow gold case and bracelet to create a stunning watch that paints a vivid picture of Rolex’s evolution through the ages.
THE DIAL Identified by its central crosshair, this ref. 1510 boasts a champagne Zephyr dial, which Rolex offered with the Date from the late 1950s until the 1980s.
THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting an 18kt yellow gold construction and Zephyr dial, this ref. 1510 would be special in its own right. However, with the addition of its Morellis finish bracelet and matching bezel, this example is a stunning example of Rolex's craftsmanship.
