Heritage Narrative
Launched as a close relative of the iconic Datejust, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date carried forward the same enduring design DNA in a slightly more compact form. At 34 mm, the Date line has long appealed to those seeking understated proportions without sacrificing Rolex’s signature blend of durability, elegance, and technical precision. The reference 15210, produced in the 1990s through the mid-2000s, is particularly distinguished by its engine-turned bezel—an aesthetic touch that sets it apart from its more common fluted and smooth-bezel siblings.
This 2006 example, serial Z05XXXX, features the stainless steel 34 mm Oyster case, silver dial with applied indices, and the classic Oyster bracelet. Beneath the sapphire crystal beats the self-winding calibre 3135, offering chronometer-certified accuracy and a quickset date. Unworn and still retaining its protective stickers, it is presented in mint condition with its full set of box, certificate, booklets, and tag—a remarkable find for a discontinued and increasingly collectible reference.
