The Rolex Oyster Perpetual remains one of the brand's most refined and "no frills" designs to this day. Going back several decades, it is without a doubt one of Rolex' most beautiful, yet simple creations. Anyone with an average-sized wrist will find that the 34mm vintage case on this reference is as elegant on bracelet as it is on a strap.
The ref. 14238 we have here is a seldom seen non-date model with fluted bezel and rivet style bracelet and silver dial. Not only is this a rare reference, this particular example boasts stunning condition and appears completely untouched throughout. The case is near mint with deep, crisp hallmarks with no signs of polishing. The 7205 bracelet is equally impressive with S date code ('94) and unmarked endlinks. It appears completely unpolished and remains remarkably tight from factory with full links, retaining its correct 18k spring bars. The bracelet really does elevate this piece into something that feels more special and arguably more dressy than similar solid gold Rolex sport models. The icing on the cake is the addition of punched warranty papers (open without a previous owners name), inner and outer boxes.
