2018 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm Blue Dial 114300

Here we have a now discontinued 2018 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Blue Dial 114300 with a curvaceous 39mm 904L OysterSteel case that curves over your wrist with tapered lugs, first released at BaselWorld in 2015 with the red grape, dark rhodium and blue dials and later in 2018 they introduced the white and black dials, affectionately named the OP39 by collectors. This versatile timepiece has a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a case thickness of 11mm, ensuring a comfortable fit, and brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp, well-defined lines. On the right side is a signed twin-lock screw-down crown, and a smooth polished bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a striking metallic blue dial. An outer minute track surrounds applied 18ct White Gold baton indexes filled with Chromalight at 3, 6 and 9 and slim polished baton indexes marking the hours; slender 18ct White Gold Baton hands tipped with Chromalight are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the Rolex coronet “Rolex Oyster Perpetual” underneath, and at 6 o’clock “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” completes this charismatic timepiece that looks just as good under the cuff in a formal setting and with speedos at the beach. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case is back, inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 3132, 31 jewels, beating at 28,800 BPH. This workhorse COSC Certified movement has many modern components, including a blue “Parachrom” hairspring, which has anti-magnetic properties. The bracelet is expertly brushed with polished sides, a 3-link 20mm OysterSteel bracelet has a signed folding Oysterclasp, and all links are included. This watch is sold with its original Rolex presentation box, original Rolex papers, and swing tags.

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements, which were 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 the 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.
