A jolt of colour on one of the most historic names at Rolex, this green lacquer dial takes the understated Oyster Perpetual and turns it into one of the brand’s most distinctive modern steel offerings. It rewards the collector who wants a do-anything steel Rolex with real personality — a piece that slips from the boardroom to the weekend and still gets noticed for its colour rather than its price tag. At 31mm it wears with quiet confidence on a slimmer wrist, or as the unfussy second Rolex for someone who already owns the icons.

Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Set beneath a domed sapphire crystal, the glossy green lacquer dial carries genuine depth, its applied luminous baton markers and the applied Rolex crown at twelve reading crisp and bright against the colour. Framed by a smooth, domed Oystersteel bezel, the 31mm case plays mirror-bright flanks against satin-brushed lug tops so the light shifts as the wrist turns. Wrapped in a brushed Oyster bracelet of solid three-piece links, it folds into an Oysterclasp fitted with a concealed 5mm Easylink comfort extension.

Functions include hours, minutes, and seconds. Winding and time-setting run through the Twinlock screw-down crown at three o’clock: unscrew it fully and the self-winding calibre 2232 can be hand-wound with a clockwise turn, then draw the crown out to its setting position to move the hands, with the seconds hand hacking to zero so the time can be set to the exact second before the crown is pushed home and screwed down flush. Worn regularly it winds itself, holds an approximately 55-hour power reserve, and — thanks to a Syloxi silicon hairspring — shrugs off magnetism; sealed by that screw-down crown and caseback, it is water resistant to 100 metres, so always confirm the crown is fully screwed down before any contact with water.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with warranty card, Oyster Perpetual booklet, worldwide service booklet, chronometer seal, and Rolex hang tag.

Green has long been Rolex’s signature colour, but poured across an Oyster Perpetual dial it reads less like a badge and more like a secret — understated from across the room, unforgettable up close. For the collector who prizes character over noise, it becomes the piece you quietly reach for most. Inquire to make it yours.
