Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date has long been admired for its understated elegance and reliability — a refined alternative to the Datejust, maintaining the same robust construction and timeless design in a slightly more compact 34 mm format. The reference 15223, part of the five-digit transitional generation, combines classic proportions with modern upgrades such as a sapphire crystal and quickset date function.
This N-serial example from 1991 is crafted in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, featuring a distinctive engine-turned bezel that gives the watch a sportier edge compared to the traditional fluted design. Its custom Mother of Pearl dial adorned with diamond hour markers adds a touch of individuality and luxury, contrasting beautifully with the two-tone Jubilee bracelet. Powered by the Calibre 3135, it delivers exceptional accuracy and durability. Offered in excellent condition with box, certificate, and booklet, this 15223 embodies the charm and versatility that have defined Rolex for decades.
