Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300-0001

Oyster Perpetual 39 Dark Rhodium 114300-0001 2019 Box and Papers

Rolex's Oyster Perpetual takes its name from the very first waterproof automatic watch that led to Rolex becoming a household name. The original was a combination of two innovations by the brand - the Oyster water-and-dustproof case, and the Perpetual automatic movement. It wasn't long before Rolex put two and two together to create one of the most consequential watches of all time. Today, the simple Oyster Perpetual no longer has the highest water resistance or the longest power reserve. In fact, it's arguably been eclipsed by the success of the Datejust, which features a date window. However, the collection is still here, providing reliable and timeless designs to collectors who prefer something more subtle and under-the-radar. Handling marks, minor dings or very light scratches that cannot be felt with a fingernail. Sharp bevels and edges. Bracelet may have some very light stretch. No wear to precious metal hallmarks or engravings. Vintage watches may have light patina and light overall wear.
