A vision brought to life
The direct descendant of the original Oyster, the Oyster Perpetual brings together three of Rolex’s founding watchmaking accomplishments: the chronometric certification awarded to a wristwatch for the first time in 1910, the waterproofness of the Oyster watch unveiled in 1926 and the self-winding movement via Perpetual rotor patented in 1931. The Oyster Perpetual continues to embody the founding vision of Hans Wilsdorf and is considered today the quintessence of Rolex excellence.
