Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36

The deliberate absence of additional complications makes every Oyster Perpetual an essential luxury watch. The version with a 36 mm case diameter is the medium men's size between the Oyster Perpetual 34 and the Oyster Perpetual 39.

Rolex – More than a brand

All over the world, Rolex is a household name, yet very few people know that the name of the watches is a purely invented word, about whose origin the company founder Hans Wilsdorf never spoke. It was easy to pronounce and, above all, easy to print on the dial. For the visionary Wilsdorf was not only a genius in watchmaking but also an extremely clever marketing strategist. So he gave his first water-resistant wristwatch to the swimmer Mercedes Gleitze. She wanted to be the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Although she had to abandon the record attempt shortly before the finish because of bad weather, the wristwatch stayed tight. Only a few years later, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual series was developed, and with it the first waterproof watches with an automatic movement. Their name derives from English. Since the movement was housed as securely as in an oyster, protected from water, this comparison was obvious. The models owe the addition Perpetual to the "constant, perpetual" work that every model in the series performs as long as it is worn.

Oyster Perpetual 36 watches: classic, timeless, elegant

In 1931 Rolex launched the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which is still produced today with an almost unchanged look. What is new are the dials of the models with 31mm and 36mm diameter. Otherwise, the current wristwatches are a true homage to the first watch from the year 1931. The bracelets and folding clasps are made of stainless steel, the water resistance is 100 metres and, of course, all Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 watches are automatic watches with a power reserve of 42 hours. Behind the sapphire crystal lies a dial in blue, silver or black, with numerals and indices as well as a second hand. Beyond that, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 dispenses with misleading extravagances and, true to the intentions of its designers, relies on understatement. That is simple elegance in perfection. And it is precisely this purism, the clean lines and the reduction to the essential that define these masterpieces of haute horlogerie and make them beloved classics for many gentlemen and ladies.
