Since its bold, color-rich reinterpretation in 2020, the Oyster Perpetual collection has captivated a new generation of watch enthusiasts. Reference 126000-0008 stands out with its distinctive “candy pink” dial, a vibrant hue that redefines traditional Rolex codes. It’s an audacious choice that has quickly become an icon in just a few short years.
Housed in a 36 mm Oyster case crafted from Oystersteel, this Oyster Perpetual preserves Rolex’s core philosophy: simplicity, precision, and durability. But the candy pink dial is far from simple in execution. Starting with a brass base, it receives six meticulous layers of lacquer in a dust-free, controlled environment. A clear varnish is then applied and polished to achieve the signature shine and depth of the Oyster Perpetual line. Only then are the markings pad-printed and the white gold hour markers and Rolex crown riveted by hand. The hands and markers, coated in Chromalight, ensure perfect legibility, even in the dark.
At its heart beats the calibre 3230, Rolex’s latest-generation automatic movement, developed entirely in-house. It beats at 28'800 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of 70 hours. Featuring the brand’s proprietary Chronergy escapement, it offers enhanced efficiency without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
Fitted to the classic three-link Oyster bracelet featuring an Oysterclasp and Easylink extension, the watch balances everyday comfort with timeless aesthetics. This 2023 example is offered in unworn condition with its complete original set, a modern piece, rare on the market, and poised to become a future design classic.
