In 1926, Rolex launched its first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch, appropriately named the 'Oyster'. The airtight seal, when properly maintained, gives this case the utmost protection of up to 100 metres.
Jumping a few decades to the 1960s, reference 1005 makes its debut and becomes an instant classic, with the 34 mm diameter allowing for unisex wear. The pink gold case accompanied by an elegant and attractive black dial makes this a rare collector's find.
