The legacy of Rolex Oyster Perpetual dates back to 1926 when Rolex introduced the original Oyster, the world's first waterproof watch. Its name drew inspiration from an oyster shell, which is tightly sealed to keep water out-an idea that Rolex ingeniously applied to protect the watch's internal components.

The watch is distinguished by its minimalist design, which makes it a versatile timepiece suited for any occasion. With a case size of 36mm, the watch strikes a balance between being unobtrusive and noticeable, making it ideal as a dress watch that can easily be styled up or down. Its clean lines and elegant simplicity mean it complements both formal and casual attire. The silver dial, with its sunray finish creates a subtle play of reflections that enhances its appeal. The hour markers, made of 18kt gold to prevent tarnishing, are filled with Chromalight. The distinctive 'three-six-nine' dial configuration, adds a unique character, differentiating it from the more conventional index markers.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
