The Rolex Oyster Perpetual can be considered as the longest serving and purest creation of everything that the founder Hans Wilsdorf wanted to achieve. The Oyster Perpetual is incredibly well-manufactured and comes with a design that offers both a classic and modern look. Although Rolex remains nearly anti-fashionable, the brand is admired and well-recognised across the world because of its high-end watches. Virtually all Rolex watches retain its value with age and thus, Rolex owners often choose to ‘sell my Rolex’ or ‘sell Rolex’ to raise some fast cash.
Nonetheless, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is technically also the entry point to the Rolex collection and maybe, less than half the value of the popular Rolex Daytona. However, it should not be considered lesser when compared to other Rolex watches.
The Oyster Perpetual: The Name
Technically, whatever Rolex creates outside of their Cellini collection is an Oyster Perpetual. While the term ‘Oyster’ refers to the dust and waterproof case fabricated by Rolex in 1926, the ‘Perpetual’ refers to the name Rolex gave to their proprietary self-winding mechanism in 1931. Thus, the Oyster Perpetual together illustrates the highest level of convenience and robustness, thereby forming the backbone of nearly every watch the manufacturer has ever since made. For example, the Submariner is known as the Oyster Perpetual Submariner and the GMT-Master as the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master.
The Oyster Perpetual is merely the pure ethos of the original creation. It is an automatic, waterproof watch that simply tells what the time is.
The Story of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual
The Oyster Perpetual has been long the most affordable watch in the Rolex’s catalogue. However, it was available in precious metal versions in the past including 18ct yellow gold, pink gold and also, was one of the first versions to forge in Rolesor – the term that signifies the bi-tone combination of steel and gold.
Today, the contemporary collection is available only in Rolex’s unique alloy Oystersteel. The Oystersteel is an extremely tough 904L typically more confined to the spheres of aeronautics and chemical engineering.
Oyster Perpetual Iterations
Besides the Datejust, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual has an extensive collection of case sizes – 26mm, 31mm, 34mm and 36mm. The primary audience of the Oyster Perpetual was women because of its smaller sizing. While the case size 34mm and 36mm were too small for maximum men, Rolex finally introduced the 39mm version of Oyster Perpetual in 2015. However, in 2018, Rolex added a white and black dial across the five sizes.
