The idea, the brain-child, the core to all rolex models. The term oyster originated from the first waterproof case designed for a wrist watch. You’ll find this term on all models that rolex produces, followed by an additional ‘model’ name. Without that subsequent model, leaves the clean, simple and powerful oyster perpetual. Design in 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, 39mm and most recently 41mm. The history and the staple technology behind the oyster perpetual leaves it as the only un-replicated horological function that no other brand can make claim too as the first to the market. Similar models that are aesthetically similar are smooth/domed bezels datejusts, air kings and milgauss, all being time only, tool watches with a purpose.

The elegance of a Rolex cannot be more defined by the simplicity of a Oyster Perpetual. The iconic smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet seamlessly complement the look, making statements all whilst providing a fully automatic calibre that withstands the test of time. Many brands use quartz movements in their ladies ranges(not that’s an issue) to avoid the complications of creating a robust movement small enough to fit inside the case sizes 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, 39mm and most recently 41mm , but not Rolex. We stock all Oyster Perpetual configurations from 1987 through to the current production line models.

Do you service your Rolex watches before sale?

All our stock is serviced before sale, without that we wouldn’t be able to offer the 3 year warranty.

Are your Oyster Perpetual Rolex’s waterproof?

Yes unless otherwise stated we ensure the watches are waterproof. It’s a standard we are aiming to make ‘standard’ by highlighting the fact that most retailers will only cover mechanical elements in their warranty. Poor standard in our opinion.

Are Oyster Perpetual Rolex Automatic?

Most of the Rolex watches we sell will be automatic, typically you’ll find only Cellini models that will be either manual wind or quartz.

Yes we offer free delivery on a nominated day of choosing within reasonable time. If the product is being prepared such as servicing before sale(which we do on all watches out of manufacturer warranty) then there may be a small wait for delivery.
