1991 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 26mm Steel & Gold 67193

Here we have a 1991 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Steel & Gold 67193 with a 26mm stainless steel Oyster case that gently curves over your wrist with drilled lugs, a subtle curve to the case leads to a lug-to-lug length of 32mm and a case thickness of 9.5mm that ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side is a signed Yellow gold screw-down crown, and a yellow gold fluted bezel holds a sapphire crystal above a sunburst champagne dial. An outer minute track is precisely printed with applied Yellow gold baton indexes marking the hours. Elegant Yellow gold baton hands have a strip of Tritium complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand, at 12 o’clock, an applied Rolex crown with printed text “Rolex Perpetual" underneath. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 2130, 29 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, and the watch comes fitted on its original 13mm Rolex steel and Yellow gold Jubilee bracelet with a folding clasp; the bracelet will fit up to a 6.3-inch wrist.

This watch is sold as ‘Watch Only’ and therefore comes without its original box or paperwork. It comes paired with its original 13mm Rolex-signed Oyster steel and yellow gold Jubilee bracelet with a folding clasp; the bracelet will fit up to a 6.3-inch wrist. The watch is from Circa. 1991, based on the serial numbers, and is sold in worn condition, but overall fair condition, with a lovely subtle patina to the dial and worn stretch to the links, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

This is a wonderful 1991 Rolex Oyster Perpetual featuring a steel & gold 26mm case. This reference 67193 is an undeniable classic; however, this example has a twist with a subtle warm patina throughout the dial, almost like a crème brûlée. Paired with the steel & gold jubilee, it is perfect, but switch it out for some leather straps and you can completely transform the look of this watch. Snap this up while you still can today!

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements which are installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. In 1945, they released Datejust. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960, saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
