RARE 1966 Rolex Oyster-Perpetual (Ref. 1013) 18K YG "Oversized Case"
The Rolex Oyster-Perpetual Ref. 1013 is a rare and sought after reference. The most interesting draw of this reference is its unexpected 36mm case. Considered "oversized" for the Oyster-Perpetual reference range as the majority of this model is 34mm. This gives you a unique look from Rolex, giving the wearer the larger size of a Datejust with the simplicity of a non-date dial.
This Rolex Oyster Perpetual would make a great start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection as a daily driver and would provide a classic feel while bringing a unique look while worn on the wrist.
