Rolex 1530

The Rolex 1530, a bit of a rare bird in the vintage world, was actually born out of a transitional moment for Rolex in the 1970s, featuring a distinctive angular case and an automatic movement tucked inside what was originally designed for a quartz watch—wild, right. With only around 1,500 ever made, it’s seriously collectible without feeling too fussy. At Tropical Watch, finding pieces like the 1530 just feels like striking gold, honestly.
