The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 (ref. 126000-0013) brings fresh character to the historically understated OP line with a lavender-toned dial that subtly challenges convention. Released in 2025, it reflects Rolex’s continued exploration of colour within one of its most versatile steel collections.

The 36mm case is crafted from corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, paired with a domed bezel and classic Oyster bracelet in fully brushed form. Powered by the self-winding calibre 3230, the watch benefits from Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and a healthy 70-hour power reserve, all housed in a case water-resistant to 100 metres. The lacquered purple dial – with its smooth finish and luminous baton markers – speaks to a contemporary palette while maintaining daily-wear functionality.

This reference sits at the crossroad of tradition and modern colour experimentation. As Rolex quietly evolves the Oyster Perpetual series, vibrant dials like this lavender variant signal a growing collector interest in watches that balance capability with expressive design.
