The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is a 34mm steel Rolex with a date window and Cyclops lens, best known in its last generation as reference 115200, which is no longer in Rolex’s catalog. Pre-owned 115200s commonly sell for about $5,000 to $7,500, depending on condition, dial and box and papers. A Rolex Date is also strong collateral: Borro lends up to 65% of a watch’s value, so owners can raise cash in as little as one business day without selling.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Price
Because the Date has been discontinued, you can only buy one pre-owned. Market tracker Loupe estimates the 115200 at about $5,700 to $5,800, with active listings around $6,000 to $7,700. Private sales have been seen below $5,000. Watches with original box and papers, an unpolished case or a desirable dial command the higher end. Older references such as the 15200 or vintage 1500 vary more widely, so get an appraisal before you buy, sell or borrow.
Oyster Perpetual Date vs. Datejust
The two are often confused. The Datejust, launched in 1945, was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to show the date in a window, and it comes in 36mm and 41mm sizes (plus smaller ladies’ models), often with a fluted bezel. The Date was the simpler 34mm sibling, usually with a smooth or engine-turned bezel. Both share the Oyster case, Perpetual rotor and Cyclops date lens.
Is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date a Good Value?
For buyers who want a classic steel Rolex with a date for less than a current Datejust, the Date is one of the more affordable routes into the brand. It is robust, easy to wear and widely recognized, which supports its resale value.
Can You Get a Loan Against a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date?
Yes. Borro lends up to 65% of a watch’s value, with a minimum loan of $2,500. A Rolex Date valued at $5,700 could support a loan of up to about $3,700.

The Watch That Doesn’t Need to Shout
Some watches arrive with an entrance. The Oyster Perpetual Date does the opposite. It slips onto the wrist in steel, 34mm, with a Cyclops lens perched over the date like a small, polite window onto the day.
Wear it for a week and you begin to notice its manners. The case has a smooth, cool heft that warms to your skin within minutes. The crown screws down with a gentle, confident click. The date jumps at midnight and you hardly think about it, because the whole point is that you do not have to. It is a watch that gets out of your way and then, at odd moments, rewards a glance.
And then someone does notice. A colleague, a stranger at a dinner, a friend who knows exactly what they are looking at. They ask nothing at first. They look at the dial, the lens, the steady shine of Oystersteel, and there is a small nod. You will have said nothing and been understood completely.
A piece like this is also a quiet source of strength. If you ever want cash without parting with it, Borro lends against luxury watches, holds yours safely and fully insured, and returns it when you repay. You keep ownership, and the nod keeps coming.
