  • Catalogue Essay

    In 2020, Rolex released an array of new Oyster Perpetual models fitted with a range of dial colours on their 36mm or 41mm stainless steel models. Definitely playful within the Rolex catalogue and immediately recalling the brands playful "Stella" dials of the past, the models were available in yellow, blue, green, coral or pink, attracting watch enthusiasts from all over the world and was a smashing success.

    The present watch cased in 41mm diameter not only wears with immense comfort, but also incredible wrist presence from its striking turquoise blue dial. Deemed by collector as the “Tiffany blue” variant, the present example is in like-new condition with its partial original factory stickers still intact. Offered without reserve, and the recent soaring demand of the “Tiffany blue”, this is undoubtedly an opportunity not to miss of this 2021 timepiece.

  • 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.
