Pre-owned vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 1024 (1973) is something of a rare find because it features a gold-plated case rather than a solid gold one. The result is a watch with all the same aesthetics as any other all-gold Rolex, but with a much more affordable price point. If you’re in the market for a gold Rolex that won’t break the bank, ref. 1024 is the watch to buy. Features include an approachable 34mm case with a smooth bezel, a matching three-link Oyster bracelet, a lovely champagne dial with gold accents, and a vintage acrylic crystal. The attractive part of Rolex collecting is that most watches also boast convenient self-winding and a waterproof Oyster case, just like the watch for sale here. It was made decades ago, but still reads true today. Shop Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34 Collection
