Rolex Oyster Perpetual
Make the world your Oyster

Watches in the Oyster Perpetual range are symbols of universal and classic style, while offering essential day-to-day functions – hours, minutes and seconds. Firmly rooted in the pioneering origins of Rolex, these models embody timeless form and function. They represent timepieces in their purest form.

Oyster Perpetual watches are direct descendants of the original Oyster launched in 1926, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch and the foundation on which Rolex has built its reputation. A certified Superlative Chronometer, the Oyster Perpetual features all the key characteristics of the Oyster Perpetual collection – excellent chronometric precision, the waterproof Oyster case, and a mechanical self-winding movement via Perpetual rotor. Understated and elegant, this timepiece is known for its universal, classic style.

The Oyster Perpetual is the purest expression of the Oyster concept.

Dynamic and timeless

The Oyster Perpetual stands out with dials in various colours, subtle or vibrant: a range of different faces, always sporting a contemporary look. Some of the dials, for instance slate or silver, feature a sunray finish, while others, in shades such as blue stone, green stone, brown stone, candy pink, green, turquoise blue, med blue or black, are lacquered. Other dials are lacquered and have a matt finish, such as the beige, lavender or pistachio variants. Other versions can be made of iridescent white mother-of-pearl or feature a multicolour Jubilee motif achieved by pad-printing. The Oyster Perpetual’s dials suit any style, whatever it may be.

The models are paired with a three-piece link Oyster bracelet, which is secure and comfortable. It is equipped with a folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, that enables the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm.

The Oyster Perpetual is offered in Oystersteel or 18 ct gold. To mark the 100th anniversary of the original Oyster, a yellow Rolesor version was unveiled in 2026. The Oyster Perpetual comes in five sizes – 28, 31, 34, 36 and 41 mm – providing the largest choice of diameters for a Rolex range.

Reliability and precision

The Oyster Perpetual’s case is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). Its middle case is crafted from a solid block of Oystersteel or 18 ct gold. The case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a special tool that grants only certified Rolex watchmakers access to the movement. Another core component in the watertight structure is the Twinlock winding crown that is fitted with a double waterproofness system and screws down securely against the case.

Depending on its size, the Oyster Perpetual is equipped with either calibre 2232 (for models in 28, 31 and 34 mm) or calibre 3230 (for models in 36 and 41 mm), self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. They offer outstanding performance, particularly in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability.
