Features
The Oyster Perpetual is characterized by its simple design, but the colorful dials of the new models released in 2020 , in candy pink , turquoise blue , yellow , coral red , and green , have attracted a lot of attention from people both in Japan and abroad. In particular, the turquoise blue, with its vivid and refreshing color, has been priced higher than sports models in the secondary market, completely changing the image of the watch as a good deal compared to the past.
The Oyster Perpetual, released in 2023 , combines these five colors on one dial, creating a new and special model. The highly popular turquoise blue is used as the base color, and balloons of various sizes are used.
These five vibrant colors are intermediate colors that are difficult to achieve. Since the colors need to be applied multiple times, it is easy for unevenness to form on the dial. However, the flat finish that does not show any unevenness at all is not just "pop and colorful" but also represents the high level of technology of Rolex. It has finally started to appear on the secondary market and is being traded at a fairly high price range, so it is one to keep an eye on in the future.
"Day-Date" "Jigsaw puzzle motif"
Next up, we will introduce a model from Rolex's highest-end line, the Day-Date, featuring a jigsaw puzzle motif dial decorated with colorful jigsaw puzzles on an orange base.
basic information
Case material: Yellow gold, Everose gold, White gold
Case diameter: 36mm
Movement: Cal.3255
Power reserve: Approximately 70 hours
Water resistance: 100m
Price including tax: Please enquire
Features
The day of the week display at the 12 o'clock position, a feature of the Day-Date, displays positive keywords such as " LOVE ," " HAPPY ," " ETERNITY ," " GRATITUDE ," " PEACE ," " FAITH ," and " HOPE " instead of the day of the week. Furthermore, the date display at the 3 o'clock position displays 31 different emojis, such as a heart , four-leaf clover , and panda , instead of the date, representing each piece of the jigsaw puzzle as an "important moment in life."
And like the Oyster Perpetual, what's great about Rolex is that it's not just colorful. It uses a technique called champlevé enamel to create a three-dimensional dial, and uses baguette-cut sapphires in six colors that match the main color for the index. It's a watch that perfectly combines playfulness and a gorgeous feel.
