None of the pieces in Rolex’s lineup epitomises the values of Rolex quite like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40. Timeless with a touch of modernity, its elegance and technical excellence are the results of exquisite balance that so many watchmakers find hard to strike. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 is characterised by its double calendar display and its inimitable President bracelet. An ice-blue dial drops subtle hints of the precious 950 platinum case, discernable for those in the know.
Jetset in Style
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller in Oystersteel and 18 ct yellow gold with an intense white dial and a Jubilee bracelet
Crossing continents never felt more stylish than with the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller. A revolutionary design blends technological sophistication and ease of use, allowing travellers to track two time zones simultaneously. An off-centre 24-hour disc indicates reference time, with the local time read off using conventional centre hands. The Saros annual calendar and Ring Command system are the icing on the cake. Powered by the Rolex Calibre 9001, the watch automatically differentiates between 30- and 31-day months — 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial indicate the month of the year while the date (instantaneous date change is linked to the local time) sits beneath the Cyclops lens.
Fearless Spirit
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II in Oystersteel with a white dial and an Oyster bracelet
Whether you are hiking trails or conquering peaks, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II is the perfect tool watch to brave the outdoor elements. Its popularity amongst explorers and scientists was due to the watch’s robustness and reliability and several other features. Amongst them is an orange 24-hour hand, set against a fixed bezel with 24-hour graduations. Together, it helps day to be distinguished from night, especially in areas that experience midnight sun or polar night.
Treasured Gem
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40 in 18 ct white gold with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds and an Oysterflex bracelet
Rolex strengthens its affinity with the yachting world with the gem-set Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40. Inspired by the aurora borealis and the glow of dawn, the preciousness of the watch is elevated with trapeze-cut precious stones. Five hues of pink sapphire, light-blue sapphire, diamond, purple sapphire and dark-blue sapphire are lined in order and are repeated eight times around the rotatable bezel for an iridescent shimmer.
Polished Glamour
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 in Oystersteel and 18 ct white gold with an azzurro-blue floral-motif, diamond-set dial and an Oyster bracelet
One of watchmaking’s most recognisable symbols, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, recalls summer meadows. Replete with Azzurro blue flower motifs, 24 flowers bring an invigorating burst of energy to the watch dial. At the heart of each flower is a single diamond set in an 18ct white gold frame surrounded by floral petals. Aesthetically, the enduring codes of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust are retained — an elegant profile and fluted bezel are hallmarks of the watch, and so is the instantaneous date change that earned the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust its fame.
