The Oyster Perpetual 34 with the Explorer dial, in blue.

The Oyster Perpetual is the Rolex with nothing added: the Oyster case, the Perpetual rotor, a smooth bezel, no date, a Superlative Chronometer inside. Rolex makes it in 28, 31, 34, 36 and 41mm, and pre-owned it is the least expensive way to a Rolex that says Oyster Perpetual on the dial, which is why the small sizes on this page cost what a Datejust does.

The 114200 was the 34mm Oyster Perpetual from 2007 to 2020, and its blue dial with the Explorer-style 3, 6 and 9 is the one people ask for: the small Rolex that reads as a sports watch. It runs the calibre 3130, the no-date version of the Datejust’s 3135, with about 48 hours of reserve. Rebag gives no reference or accessories and grades it Very Good with moderate scratches; the serial on the case settles the reference and the year.

Rebag gives the case at 34mm and 12mm high, the band at 19mm, a wrist size of about 7.5 inches, the band and case as stainless steel, the dial colour as blue, an automatic movement with a screw-down crown, no accessories, and the condition as Very Good with wear and moderate scratches, and no reference. The smooth bezel, 3-6-9 dial and Oyster bracelet are from the photograph. The 114200 match and its calibre are Rolex’s published figures for the reference it appears to be.

Rebag authenticates in-house and is not a Rolex authorised dealer, and Amazon adds its 30-day return window. Ask for the reference and the serial, whether the removed links come with it, and when it was last serviced. Nothing here was measured on the watch.

This unit is sold by Rebag through Amazon Luxury Stores, authenticated by the seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window on top; it is one piece, and when it sells the listing goes away, so the second button opens the live search for 34mm Oyster Perpetuals.

Steel Oyster Perpetuals have resold close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
