Description

This Rolex Tucker Drilling logo, Sigma dial reference 1501 Date is one of the rarest watches I have ever owned.
As a matter of fact, this is the only one available on the Internet, as far as I can tell. It is certainly many times rarer than the other American oil company logo watches from the 1970s-1980s, which you may occasionally find for sale here and on other websites.
This all-original beauty is from around 1978. That was the era when certain companies gave their employees among other things, high-grade watches as performance rewards, retirement, or work anniversary gifts.
The diameter of the stainless steel case is 34mm, the oyster bracelet is 19mm at lug ends and it will fit a 190mm (7.5") wrist. Thewatch is working and keeping time, but the last service date and the history of the watch are unknown. The watch and the bracelet have not been polished, both are in excellent cosmetic condition.
If you want to stand out of the usual Rolex crowd and you don't want to pay the astronomical costs associated these days with nearly all of their sought-after time pieces, here is your chance. This watch with its stunning all-original dial is guaranteed to capture everyone's attention.
Shipping will be with full insurance. Buyers outside of the United States are responsible for any and all customs and import charges in their home countries.
