For sale: My late father's 1957 Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
He's been gone a long time, and this watch has been sitting unworn in my collection for years.
At 8 inches, my wrist is just a bit too big for it now (classic smaller vintage sizing ~34mm case), and as I'm getting older, it's time to start lightening the load of stuff I've held onto for decades.
This one's been professionally overhauled/serviced (recent full service, so it runs smoothly and reliably – automatic movement ticking away nicely).
Iconic Rolex Oyster Perpetual from 1957 – waterproof Oyster case, perpetual automatic winding, clean vintage dial used but great condition have extra piece for band
Timeless understated elegance – perfect for everyday wear or as a collector's gem.
Genuine vintage Rolex from the golden era
Overhauled for peace of mind (runs great, accurate timekeeping)
Comes with whatever original bits/papers I have (or happy to share photos)
Smaller case suits slimmer wrists beautifully – vintage charm!
Pickup in Kippa-Ring/Redcliffe area (Brisbane Northside, QLD) – or can post Australia-wide (insured/tracked at buyer's cost).
Im open to serious offers from genuine buyers who'll appreciate its history.)
DM for plenty of close-up photos (dial, case back, movement if visible, any wear), serial/ref number details, or to arrange viewing. Happy to answer questions – this one's got real soul and deserves a good home. Won't last long at this price!
