The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a timeless classic that exemplifies elegance, simplicity, and exceptional craftsmanship, making it one of the most recognizable luxury watches in the world. Unveiled in 1926, the Oyster Perpetual was the first wristwatch to feature a waterproof case, showcasing Rolex's commitment to innovation and functionality. Its iconic design features a clean, minimalist dial with luminous hour markers and the signature Oyster case, ensuring durability and water resistance for everyday wear. The "Perpetual" in its name refers to its self-winding movement, which harnesses the energy generated by the wearer's wrist, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring accurate timekeeping. Available in a variety of sizes and dial colors, the Oyster Perpetual appeals to watch enthusiasts who appreciate both classic aesthetics and modern reliability. Whether worn for casual occasions or formal events, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual remains a symbol of luxury and sophistication, embodying the brand's rich heritage and unwavering pursuit of excellence in horology.

In 1926 Rolex introduced the world to the first dust and waterproof watch, the 'Rolex Oyster'. In 1931 Rolex invented the first automatic watch movement. This movement was powered by the motion of the wearer by mean of a weight, or rotor which would constantly wind the mechanism (Perpetual). However it wasn't until the 1950's that the 'Rolex Oyster Perpetual' made its first appearance. From 1959 until the mid 1980's, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual featured automatic movements, screw down back and screw down crown. All versions of the OP were 36mm in size and featured a plastic crystal and a 26 jewels movement with fluted or milled bezels. The 36mm OP was powered by the calibre 1560 and 1570 automatic movements. The 1960's saw the introduction of a reduced size, or Ladies Oyster Perpetual with a 24mm case design. In 2014 Rolex released the Oyster Perpetual in 4 different sizes, 26mm, 31mm, 34mm and 36mm. In 2015 Rolex added the 39mm Oyster Perpetual. The current range of Rolex Opster Perpetual watches are available in 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm and 41mm. All models feature a domed bezel and and Rolex Oyster bracelet. Popular dial colours include candy pink, turqoise blue (Tiffany), black, silver and green.
