Here we have a ref. 69160, a notable 26mm example of the Oyster Perpetual Date produced through the 1990s. On the wrist, it's a watch that will look as good today as it does fifty years from now, like so many Rolex watches, it has maintained a timeless quality which has made it a hit since its initial debut in the 1950s. 

Above all, the Oyster Perpetual Date is characterized by its simplicity. With an Oyster case, a no-nonsense yet wonderfully familiar dial, the reliable caliber 2135, and an all-around excellent execution, you have a watch that is difficult to beat from Rolex in terms of value proposition and versatility. A smooth bezel compared to Rolex's signature fluted in combination with its petite 26mm sizing help ensure its distinction on the wrist, together aesthetically refreshing the idea of what a Rolex can and cannot be.
