  • Catalogue Essay

    Released in Baselworld 2015, Rolex introduces a series of new Oyster Perpetual models in various case sizes ranging from 26, 31, 34 and 39mm diameter with each model available with a set of color options for the dial. Regarded by many as the simplest yet one of the most charming contemporary models introduced by Rolex, the history of the Oyster perpetual goes far beyond the history of the Oyster perpetual Datejust and the Submariner making it one of the most important attributes to the history and development of the firm.

    The Rolex ref. 114300 in a 39mm diameter case was first introduced with three dial options, grey, purple and blue. The present example features a purple dial with red accents on the hour markers providing a sense of refreshing vibrancy to the present example, especially under sunlight as it displays the magnificent spectrum of the purplish hue. Presented in “unworn” condition, the present specimen is brand new and partially retains its factory protective stickers accompanied by the original guarantee dated 2019 and its presentation box.

  • Artist Biography

    Rolex

    Swiss • 1905

    Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.

    One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
