I am showing you the 2020 released Rolex Oyster Perpetual 'Candy Pink' in 36mm! I am comparing it to the discontinued Oyster Perpetual, a 36mm Datejust as well as giving you my quick take on the (what seems to be controversial) dial color!

All the love to Kai, my best friend, husband and simply the most amazing person in the world ❤️

CANDY PINK DIAL

A D I S T I N C T I V E F A C E


The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.

The aesthetics of the Oyster Perpetual models set them apart as symbols of universal and classic style. They embody timeless form and function, firmly rooted in the pioneering origins of Rolex.

OYSTERSTEEL​

HIGHLY RESISTANT TO CORROSION​

Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

THE OYSTER BRACELET​

ALCHEMY OF FORM AND FUNCTION​

The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection. For the Oyster Perpetual models the Oyster bracelet is fitted with an Oysterclasp.

3230 MOVEMENT​

SUPERLATIVE PERFORMANCE​

The Oyster Perpetual 36 is equipped with calibre 3230, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, launched by the brand in 2020. At the forefront of watchmaking technology, this self-winding mechanical movement led to the filing of several patents, and offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, convenience and reliability. Calibre 3230 incorporates the Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability.

That's a boring watch. The dial color is decent, but it seems lifeless. A sunburst type dial in the same color would have been better.
