2022 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm Silver Dial 124300

Here we have a 2022 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Silver Dial 124300 with a curvaceous 41mm 904L OysterSteel case that curves over your wrist with tapered lugs; this model was first released in 2020. This versatile timepiece has a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. The 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, rounded bezel holding a flat sapphire crystal above a striking sunburst silver dial. The Rolex rehaut surrounds an outer minute track with applied 18ct Yellow Gold single and double baton indexes filled with Chromalight marking the hours; slender 18ct Yellow Gold Baton hands tipped with Chromalight are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At noon, 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. 3230, 31 jewels, beating at 28,800 BPH. This workhorse COSC Certified movement launched in 2020 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.

This watch is sold with its original Rolex box, original Rolex papers, and swing tags. It comes paired with its original brushed and polished 20mm Rolex Oyster OysterSteel bracelet secured by a signed folding Oysterclasp, all links included. The watch is from November 2022 and is worn but, overall, in fair condition, as you can see from the photographs. A full case and bracelet refurb can be provided at an additional cost on request. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty. The case measures 39mm when measured with accurate calipers, this is common for Rolex sports models to measure smaller than their described sizes by the brand.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 124300 features a wonderful silver dial with contrasting gold indices and hands, this combination reminds me of the older models of a bygone era of Rolex and I am a huge fan. Whilst advertised as 41mm, when measured the watch is closer to 39mm and this is a common oddity with Rolex models measuring smaller than their advertised sizes, so this wears far better on the wrist than I would first expect. Don't hesitate to book an appointment to try this one on for yourself!

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 developed 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.
