Rolex · Family: Oyster Perpetual
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 is the 36mm Oystersteel version of Rolex's entry point into the catalog, with no date or complications, offered in a wide range of colored dials. It runs the in-house Caliber 3230 with Chronergy escapement and ~70 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its standout detail: it's the purest entry into the Oyster architecture — no rotating bezel, date, or Jubilee bracelet — compared with the rest of the professional range.

The Oyster Perpetual family is, in design terms, the closest link to the original Oyster case Rolex patented in 1926 as the market's first genuinely waterproof wristwatch case. With no date, no rotating bezel, and no added complications, the Oyster Perpetual distills the brand's foundational architecture — a waterproof case, automatic winding via the Perpetual rotor — with no functional add-ons.
Reference 126000 is the 36mm execution within the current Oyster Perpetual range, built in Oystersteel (Rolex's name for the 904L steel used across its professional line). It runs the in-house Caliber 3230, a sibling of the 3235 found in models like the Submariner Date, with a Chronergy escapement — more energy-efficient than a traditional Swiss lever escapement — and roughly 70 hours of power reserve.
One of the modern Oyster Perpetual's signature traits is the range of gradient-finish colored dials Rolex has introduced across successive generations, making it a personalization-driven model within an otherwise highly standardized catalog.
Within Rolex's catalog strategy, the Oyster Perpetual serves as the brand's entry point: it shares manufacture, chronometer certification, and finishing standards with the rest of the range, but without the added cost of a Cerachrom bezel, date function, or more complex bracelets like the Jubilee or Glidelock.

No. The Oyster Perpetual is the only modern Rolex line with no date window or Cyclops lens, a feature that sets it apart from the rest of the catalog.

It's a deliberate Rolex design choice to differentiate generations and sizes within this entry line; color combinations vary by production year and not all of them coexist in the catalog at once.
Yes, to 100 meters — enough for swimming and daily use, though well below the water resistance of the brand's dive models.
It shares manufacture and finishing standards with the rest of the catalog, but drops the rotating bezel, date, and more complex bracelets, making it the simplest entry point into the brand.
