Rolex Oyster Perpetual

Rolex Oyster Perpetual is Rolex's cleanest collection, showing only the time without a date or additional complication; it takes its name from the waterproof Oyster case introduced in 1926 and the self-winding Perpetual rotor developed in 1931. Its 28, 31, 34, 36 and 41 mm sizes and colourful dials make it an easy-to-understand Rolex choice for daily wear. New Rolex Oyster Perpetual models are offered from our independent boutique's current inventory. For pre-owned and discontinued references, see our pre-owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual page.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the most accessible entry point into the Rolex collection. Every current model comes in an Oystersteel case on an Oyster bracelet, so the price depends mainly on case size and dial colour; the 41 mm 124300 and 36 mm 126000 sit above the 28-34 mm models. In-demand dials such as turquoise and the colourful 'Celebration' can be valued higher on the secondary market. Assess the full reference and dial colour together when checking current pricing.

31 and 34 mm are compact, 36 mm is balanced and 41 mm has more presence. Dial colour is the strongest personal choice: clean dials are more timeless while colourful dials have more character.

What is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date? The Oyster Perpetual Date is a discontinued Rolex model that added a date window to a 34 mm case. The current Oyster Perpetual has no date; if you want a Rolex with a date, see the Rolex Datejust models. What is the difference between the Oyster Perpetual and the Datejust? The Oyster Perpetual shows only the time and has a smooth bezel; the Datejust adds a date window, the Cyclops lens and fluted-bezel options. What determines the price of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual? Case size, dial colour, production year and box and papers set the price. Which Oyster Perpetual size is right for me? 36 mm sits well on most wrists; 41 mm has more presence and 28-34 mm is more compact.
