What We Fancy

The Oyster Perpetual reference 1002 was produced for nearly 30 years from the 1950s until the 1980s. With a smaller 34mm case with a smooth bezel and chronometer-certified movement, this watch is the real deal. This example here dates to 1975 and features a rare “Sigma” dial. A Sigma dial is named for the letters printed at the bottom. At the 6 o'clock position. Most Rolex dials are commonly marked with “T Swiss T,” under the 6 o'clock marker, however, a Sigma dial is marked “σ T SWISS T σ.” This signifies the use of gold components within the dial. Another characteristic that makes this piece interesting is the dial has aged to a lavender hue.
