This vintage watch offers a reliable caliber 1570 automatic perpetual movement with 26 jewels. This automatic winding technology allows the user to forego worrying about winding the watch because the movement runs off of perpetual motion. This means that by simply wearing the watch it will be wound. If the watch is left still for too long, however, it will need to be wound. If you wear your Rolex ref 1550 every day or so, you will not have to worry about it. The watch is completed with a luxurious leather strap with a matching yellow gold Rolex “tang” clasp. The Rolex dial, movement and case are all signed.
