Vintage Yellow Gold Oyster Perpetual

Can someone provide me with some more info on this watch? I was told it's from the 1980's. However through my research I can't find one online that exactly matches it. (This is the only photo I have) I'm debating on making an offer for it.

Depending on year, it’s probably a model 1503 or 15037.

That looks to be one of the 1500 series, and if the fluted bezel is original this would be a model 1503, or 15037 as noted above. These were available in 14ct gold and 18ct gold and although most of them had Jubilee bracelets fitted there are several around with Oyster bracelets.

The 1500 series was in production a long time so you might find there are detail differences between this one and any others for sale, such as the wording at the bottom of the dial could be some variation of T SWISS T.

Without knowing more details about this one, such as the serial number, it is difficult to know what the significance of T SWISS MADE T is, but it might be a service dial.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if those vintage models tend to sell quickly?

Usually not so much because of the size, 34mm

Depends on the price. Not a helpful comment, but a true one. Anyway, that's a lot of yellow gold on gold on gold, for my taste personally, but the watch looks fine to me if you like it.

The bezel seems to be in a decent and sharp condition
