Description
The Oyster Perpetual 31 in two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold carries the 2026 centenary slate dial in what is arguably the most historically informed proposition across the centenary lineup. At 31mm, this reference sits at a diameter that has anchored the Oyster Perpetual’s role as a precision timekeeper for a broad collector base since the mid-twentieth century — a size defined neither by the conventions of sport watchmaking nor by the purely jewellery-watch tradition, but occupying a deliberate middle ground that has served as many collectors’ first serious Rolex. The two-tone material combination traces its Oyster Perpetual presence back to the early 1930s, lending this centenary configuration an authenticity that purely stainless steel versions cannot claim.
The 31mm stainless steel Oyster case carries a domed yellow gold bezel and yellow gold screw-down crown, paired with a three-link Oyster bracelet in stainless steel. The slate sunray dial presents luminous baton hour markers and Mercedes hands, with green square indicators at every five-minute interval on the minute track, the Rolex name in green at twelve o’clock, and the “100 years” inscription at six o’clock. Caliber 2232 with silicon Syloxi hairspring powers the movement.
