Paul Fraser Collectibles | Rolex Oyster Perpetual Celebration Dial 36 wristwatch - ref 126000

Rolexes aren't meant to look like this. 


If you saw this dial on a Swatch you'd think, "yep, that's a Swatch alright".  
Paul Fraser Collectibles | Rolex Oyster Perpetual Celebration Dial 36 wristwatch - ref 126000
But a Rolex? Refined, conservative, serious Rolex? What a shock.

In fact, this example I've just manage to source for you is...

The most untypical Rolex ever made. 

And its strangeness helps explain why it has soared 213% in value since its £5,100 release just 12 months ago. (And why I think its price will continue to rise over the long term).

But many Rolex collectors LOVE THIS WATCH, because it's so unusual. 
Your nearest Rolex authorised dealer has likely never seen one in person. (They may never see one as we're expecting a short production run.)

And those dealers that have? Rolex has ensured each authorised dealer receives just one at most.

This Rolex gives you the equation watch investors look for:

Low supply: this watch is incredibly rare. You are unlikely to ever meet another person wearing one
High demand: this watch is hugely desirable

  1. Never worn - perfect condition: This is like buying a new watch
  2. Rolex guarantee valid until October 2028: 4.5 years of complete peace of mind
  3. Full box and papers: Adds thousands in value (it's what top collectors demand)

History of the Oyster Perpetual Celebration Dial

Rolex released five brightly-coloured Oyster Perpetuals in 2020. In pink, red, turquoise blue, green and yellow. All hugely popular with collectors.

In 2023, Rolex released the Celebration, which is an Oyster Perpetual featuring 51 circles on the dial. Each circle bears one of the five colours from the 2020 release. 

Oyster Perpetuals are among the most iconic of all Rolexes. Rolex released the Oyster in 1926 - the world's first waterproof wristwatch. It added a self-winding ("perpetual") movement in 1931. Since that date, the Oyster Perpetual has been among the key offerings from Rolex.  
 
Key points: 
  • Rolex's most vibrant watch
  • A huge demand among collectors due to its unusual looks
  • Low supply - only produced for last 12 months (and likely discontinued soon as it's not a main line)
  • You'll be waiting years (possibly decades) to buy one from a Rolex authorised dealer
  • Value up 213% in 12 months

The price is £16,000
