Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41
The echo of origins

A celebration of the birth of the Oyster, Rolex presents the Oyster Perpetual 41 in a yellow Rolesor version that consecrates 100 years of watchmaking achievements and perpetuates the echo of its origins.

The Oyster Perpetual 41 is offered in an unprecedented configuration that expresses with strength, simplicity and elegance, the quintessence of a watch according to Rolex. On this timepiece, presented in a yellow Rolesor version, the association of metals is manifested in a bezel and winding crown crafted from yellow gold, married with a case and bracelet in Oystersteel. These touches of yellow gold recall the case elements of some early Oyster watches.

A signature feature of the brand since the early 1930s, Rolesor combines gold and steel in a meeting of sophistication and strength. The concept is simple: certain elements of the case and bracelet are made of yellow, white or Everose gold, while others are made of Oystersteel.

The Oyster Perpetual 41 in a yellow Rolesor version reinterprets this aesthetic. It pairs a bezel and winding crown in yellow gold with a bracelet made entirely of Oystersteel, whereas typically on Rolex watches in yellow Rolesor versions the centre links of the bracelet are in yellow gold.

The Oyster Perpetual 41 is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This exclusive designation is issued to each watch leaving the Rolex workshops, attesting to its excellent performance on the wrist. This in-house certification is strictly controlled by internationally recognized, independent Swiss entities.

In 2026, the Superlative Chronometer certification has been strengthened with the addition of three new testing criteria: resistance to magnetism, reliability and sustainability. These criteria are implemented throughout the design and manufacturing stages of each timepiece – hundreds of checks and validations directly related to the watch’s performance are carried out during these phases. They supplement the criteria established when the certification was redefined in 2015 governing precision, waterproofness, self-winding and power reserve. That year, Rolex set up an exclusive testing protocol for its finished watches, conducted inside the manufacture on fully automated equipment. The precision requirements are particularly stringent: measured after casing the movement, the watch’s accuracy must be between –2 and +2 seconds per day. The rate deviation tolerated by the brand for the precision of a finished watch is significantly smaller than that accepted for official certification of the movement alone.

The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
