The Rolex Date made its debut in the early 1950's as a alternative to the Datejust. It was the way for Rolex to offer the same design and quality product contained in a slightly smaller diameter for clients looking for a more discreet piece or to fit their smaller wrist.
The Reference 15223 is a very attractive choice for an enthusiast looking for a neo vintage piece, one that would gather the best of the vintage world and the modern one. Indeed, its two-tone case and bracelet, especially when combined with a champagne dial as on the present lot, provide that undeniable charming vintage touch. On the other hand, the sapphire glass, the calibre 3135 and the solid bracelet bring the comfort, reliability and security one is looking for when acquiring a Rolex timepiece.
While the majority of the 15223 appearing on the market have been very much used, this one has been preserved in superb condition with a very sharp case, still bearing its original green protective sticker on the back, a dial and hands in pristine condition, and is accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee and presentation case.
Fresh to the market and presented on behalf of the family of the original owner, this piece represents a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful Rolex watch.
