The surfaces of the case and bracelet on the new versions of the Oyster Perpetual 28 and Oyster Perpetual 34 are mainly satin-finished and feature a "brushed" appearance, which characterises models in the current Oyster Perpetual range, a first for models made entirely of precious metal. The domed bezel, on the other hand, stands out for its sparkling polished finish.

Satin finish
A new texture game
18 ct yellow gold and 18 ct Everose gold
A unique radiance
Demonstrating its uniqueness in the watchmaking landscape once again, Rolex has chosen to equip itself with an in-house foundry to have full control over the creation, casting, and shaping of its 18 ct gold alloys. This allows the Brand to produce gold alloys of the highest quality, distinguished by exceptional purity and brilliance. 18 ct gold is an alloy suitable for watchmaking, composed of 750‰ (thousandths) of pure gold. Depending on the proportions of silver, copper, and other elements added, different types of gold are obtained: yellow gold, white gold, and Everose gold, the pink gold alloy developed and patented by Rolex.
Natural stone dials
Innovative and captivating
On the lacquered dials of certain new versions of the Oyster Perpetual 34 and Oyster Perpetual 28 in 18 ct gold, three of the hour markers – at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock – are made from natural stone, a first for Rolex. The stones are ogival-cut on their upper surface to highlight their structure and tone and to avoid any reflection.
On the 18 ct yellow gold Oyster Perpetual 28 with a lacquered green stone dial, these three hour markers are made from heliotrope, a rock with different shades of green. On the 18 ct Everose gold Oyster Perpetual 34 with a lacquered blue stone dial, on the other hand, they are made from dumortierite, a blue mineral characterized by lighter and darker zones.
Oyster Bracelet
Iconic and robust
The new versions of the Oyster Perpetual 28 and Oyster Perpetual 34 are fitted with an Oyster bracelet. Developed in the late 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet is known for its robustness. On these watches, it is equipped with an Oysterclasp folding clasp and features the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm.
Caliber 2232
The epitome of technology
The Oyster Perpetual 28 and the Oyster Perpetual 34 are equipped with calibre 2232, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This self-winding mechanical movement offers high performance, particularly in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability. Fitted with a Syloxi hairspring and a paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus escape wheel, calibre 2232 offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours.
Certification
Superlative Chronometer
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 28 and Oyster Perpetual 34 are certified as Superlative Chronometers. This exclusive designation guarantees the watch’s outstanding performance on the wrist. This internal certification is rigorously controlled by independent and internationally recognised Swiss bodies.
Since 2026, the Superlative Chronometer certification has been enhanced with three new assessment criteria: resistance to magnetic fields, reliability, and durability, monitored throughout all phases of the design and production of each individual watch. These involve hundreds of checks and validations that directly contribute to the watch's performance. The new criteria complement those established during the redefinition of the certification in 2015, namely precision, waterproofness, self-winding, and power reserve. It was in that year that Rolex set up an exclusive testing protocol for the finished watch, conducted within the manufacture on fully automated systems. Assessed after the movement is cased, the precision criteria are particularly high. The precision must be within a deviation of –2 and +2 seconds per day. The deviation tolerated by the Brand for a finished watch is significantly lower than that permitted for the official certification of the movement alone.
The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolised by the green seal that accompanies every Rolex watch, along with a five-year international guarantee.
