Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the purest expression of the brand’s philosophy — timeless, precise, and beautifully understated. Rooted in the original 1926 Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, it embodies simplicity elevated to an art form. The reference 176200, produced in the modern era, distills that legacy into a compact and elegant 26 mm form — ideal for those who value refinement without excess.

This April 2019 example features a vibrant Red Grape dial, one of Rolex’s most distinctive and sought-after colorways. The rich hue contrasts beautifully with the Oystersteel case and bracelet, offering both durability and everyday versatility. Powered by the Calibre 2231, a precise chronometer-certified automatic movement, it maintains Rolex’s reputation for reliability and accuracy. Offered in mint condition and accompanied by its full set — box, papers, and booklets — this watch is a perfect embodiment of modern minimalism infused with Rolex craftsmanship.
