Rolex Oyster Perpetual
Make the world your Oyster

Oyster Perpetual watches are direct descendants of the original Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch by Rolex, on which the brand has built its reputation since 1926. 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 self-winding of the movement via a Perpetual rotor. Understated and elegant, this timepiece is known for its universal, classic style.

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.

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.
