DRAFT · PENDING REVIEW
Rolex · Family: Oyster Perpetual
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 (ref. 124300) is Rolex's entry point into its own catalog: a 41mm Oystersteel case with no date or complications, a smooth polished bezel, and the in-house Calibre 3230 delivering ~70 hours of power reserve. Cazador has zero verified price observations today. Its differential: this refCode covers several vivid-colored dials launched in 2020 — including a turquoise version collectors informally nickname the 'Tiffany dial' — on the brand's most stripped-down design.
Estimated range: €7,457 – €30,660
Based on 5 real observations (2022-04-14 – 2024-09-13), converted to EUR using the ECB historical rate for each date. Small sample — the range will narrow as more data arrives.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the most stripped-down line in the brand's catalog: no date, no complications, positioned as the purest expression of the original Oyster waterproof-case concept [general context; the original Oyster case's introduction date isn't part of the current-catalog spec source used for this fiche]. Reference 124300 is the 41mm version, the larger of the two cases Rolex currently offers within this family, alongside a 36mm option.
In 2020, Rolex refreshed the Oyster Perpetual range with two simultaneous changes: growing the case to 41mm for this reference and introducing a palette of vivid dial colors — yellow, coral red, turquoise, among others — that broke from the line's usual restraint. That launch drew strong media attention, particularly for the turquoise dial, which collectors and watch press informally nicknamed the 'Tiffany dial' for its chromatic resemblance to the color associated with the American jewelry house [UNVERIFIED: this is an informal collector nickname, with no commercial relationship or official confirmation from Rolex].
Inside sits the Calibre 3230, an in-house Rolex movement built around the Chronergy escapement, which replaced the prior caliber used in this line. The result is roughly 70 hours of power reserve, with Superlative Chronometer certification.
The bezel on this reference is smooth and polished, with no scale or ceramic insert, reinforcing the line's minimalist character. Since there's no date function, the sapphire crystal also skips the Cyclops lens found on the Datejust or Submariner Date. The bracelet is the 3-link Oyster, closed with the Oysterlock system.
Rated to 100 meters of water resistance, the Oyster Perpetual 41 covers daily wear without a specialized sport mandate. Per the catalog data used for this fiche, the 124300 remains in active production within Rolex's current catalog.
Cazador has no verified PricePoint observations for the 124300, so we cannot publish a reliable market range.
It's an informal nickname among collectors, based on the color's resemblance to the shade associated with Tiffany & Co. There's no official confirmation from Rolex of the term's exact origin, and no commercial relationship between the two brands.
No. The Oyster Perpetual is the simplest line in Rolex's catalog: it shows only hours, minutes, and seconds, with no date or other complications.
It runs Rolex's in-house Calibre 3230, an automatic movement with the Chronergy escapement, roughly 70 hours of power reserve, and Superlative Chronometer certification.
This refCode covers several vivid dial colors launched in 2020, including turquoise, coral red, and yellow, alongside more neutral options. The catalog input reviewed does not fix a single dial color for this reference.
It's rated to 100 meters, sufficient for daily wear, occasional showers, and recreational swimming, without being a dedicated dive watch.
Rolex introduced this 41mm case in 2020, alongside the new palette of dial colors, as part of that year's Oyster Perpetual range refresh.
