Historical Context

During the 1960s and 1970s, Rolex experimented with a variety of decorative finishes on cases and bezels, often produced in limited numbers and aimed at a more exclusive clientele. The ref. 1514 with Décor Moiré bezel is one of these less common variations, highly appreciated today by collectors for its originality. This example, featuring the renowned cal. 1570 and an original silvered dial, offers a perfect balance between classic elegance and distinctive design.
