Description
The 2026 Oyster Perpetual 28 in yellow gold introduces the smallest and most intimate expression of Rolex’s landmark natural stone hour marker treatment — a genuine first for the manufacture, appearing here in heliotrope, a semi-precious mineral whose naturally occurring variation between pale and deeper greens ensures no two examples carry identical color distribution at the quarter-hour positions. The pairing of heliotrope against a green stone lacquer dial within an all-yellow gold case represents a studied chromatic convergence, anchoring this reference within a tradition of precious small watchmaking where material harmony governs every compositional decision. The satin-finished case and bracelet, itself a first for an all-precious-metal Oyster Perpetual, further distinguish this 2026 generation.
The 28mm yellow gold Oyster case carries a domed bezel and yellow gold screw-down crown, with the case and three-link Oyster bracelet finished uniformly in satin. The green stone lacquer dial presents yellow gold baton hour markers throughout, with three ogive-cut heliotrope stone indexes at three, six, and nine o’clock — each cut to suppress reflections and reveal the mineral’s layered internal color. Yellow gold dauphine hands complete the dial. Caliber 2232 with silicon Syloxi hairspring powers the movement.
