In 2020, Rolex unveiled new interpretations of its iconic Oyster Perpetual, featuring dials in a series of vibrant colors. Evoking the playful ‘Stella’ dials of Rolex’s past, the new models were available with lacquered dials in yellow, blue, green, coral, or baby pink. Much to the delight of aficionados with a predilection for vintage timepieces, the new Oyster Perpetual references were an immediate success, garnering substantial waiting lists at authorized Rolex retailers.

The present Oyster Perpetual 41 ref. 123400 features what is arguably the most coveted and desirable hue in the palette – “Turquoise” or “Tiffany” blue. The 41mm Oystersteel case and Oyster bracelet provide robust yet comfortable proportions, while the turquoise blue lacquer dial adds a spirited accent. Inside beats the self-winding cal. 3230. This in-house movement not only drives the central hour, minute and seconds hands with high precision, but also delivers an astonishing 70-hour power reserve.

With interest in this specific shade skyrocketing recently, the discontinuation of the 41mm “Turquoise Blue” variant announced by Rolex in spring 2022 renders the present well-preserved example, complete with its full set of accessories, an opportunity for the astute collector to acquire this highly versatile and desirable timepiece immediately.
