The Oyster Perpetual family from Rolex is one of the most colorful and playful in the brand. It is widely known as the brand's most accessible watch not only for its entry-level price point but for its modern, yet timeless appearance. Today, it has become one of the central models of the Rolex brand. It was integral to the upbringing of several other of Rolex's iconic watches - The Daytona, GMT-Master, Datejust, and more have the Oyster Perpetual to thank, and it has always been said that the Oyster Perpetual is Rolex in its purest form. Going back to the 1920s until the present day, the Oyster Perpetual has gone through countless reiterations but has always remained as popular and beloved by all.
A rather modern iteration of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual seen here is the 41mm stainless steel with a yellow dial. Whilst the stainless steel case and bracelet emanate a simple classic yet modern feeling, the striking and contrasting yellow help make the watch feel more vibrant and alive. Equipped with a self-winding movement, the in-house calibre 3230 offers up to 100m of water resistance and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The watch has a very clear and easy goal, and that is to be reliable and to be dependable for any wearer. It's safe to say that the Oyster Perpetual, especially in a visually bright yellow dial achieves that goal above and beyond. Durable, reliable, and precise, ref. 124300-0004 is a testament to Rolex's commitment to quality, and it's very clear to see why this model remains one of the brand's most cherished, even after close to a century.
