As is typical for Rolex, the highly polished indices (just like the simple hands) are not made of “ordinary” stainless steel, rather than 18-carat white gold. Particularly eye-catching is the large, applied and polished Rolex crown at 12 o’clock and the new double indices at 3-6-9 o’clock. And without any doubt, it was the color that influenced the watch industry the most in 2021. For many the playful color is the go-to option for summer watches. It gained instantly the nickname Tiffany dial, as it reminds collectors of the color shade used by the famous jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. When the updated Oyster Perpetual was released as Rolex novelty of 2020, one color in particular immediately caught the eye – the turquoise dial. Caliber 3230 also features Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, which means its nickel-phosphorus alloy is almost resistant to magnetic fields. It features a 70 hours power reserve when fully wound and is waterproof up to 100 meters. The automatic manufacture caliber is a superlative chronometer with an accuracy of -2 /+2 seconds per day. It is called caliber 3230 and is a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, launched by the brand in 2020. Movement 3230īoth references (124300 for 41 mm and 126000 for 36 mm) host the same movement inside their case. You can learn more about the rare Stella dials in this article ( here).
At the beginning collectors perceived the Stella dials as wrong to Rolex’s brand DNA, but now these models are the most sought-after vintage Day-Dates. In the 1970s Rolex had a small series of so-called Stella dials for its Day-Dates models. Especially the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Tiffany with its turquoise dial caught the attention of so many watch lovers – collectors included.Īlthough many watch nerds thought this was a very untypical move by Rolex, it is actually something we saw from the Geneva watch brand already in the past. Rolex added some extra flavor to the Oyster Perpetual product line by introducing some jazzy-color dial variants. It is a classic mechanical timepiece that focuses on the essentials: The display of hours, minutes and seconds, so the watch is a perfect combination of form and function. In 2020 the Oyster Perpetual 39 (reference 114300) was replaced by the “entry-level Rolex” Oyster Perpetual 41 mm (reference 124300) and 36 mm (reference 126000).
