Todays offering showcases this uncommon Rolex Oyster Perpetual model #6580 encased in stainless steel. Featuring an original silver "Explorer style" dial with Arabic markers at 3, 6, and 9, it possesses a wonderful vintage style.

The Oyster Perpetual, which measures 34mm in diameter (2mm smaller than a Datejust) clearly demonstrates the qualities associated with Rolex watches: precision, reliability, durability, and class.

As precise as it is classic, our gem is powered by the renowned Caliber 1030 movement. One of of Rolex's very fine mechanisms, it offers a level of engineering and craftsmanship that is truly exceptional.

We were fortunate to acquire the watch in original condition down to the dial, all hands, and original Rolex + winding crown. The Oyster case is near mint. The silver dial with Arabic markers is bright and clean showing only light signs of aging.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, replacing all of the waterproofing seals with new Rolex gaskets, and extensive timing testing and regulation. The work was done at a wholesale to us of $710.

Included with the purchase is a full one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.
