Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm Slate 100 Years 126003

Overview The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36, reference 126003, marks 100 years since Rolex introduced the Oyster case in 1926, the case architecture that made every waterproof wristwatch that followed possible. Unlike the standard OP 36 lineup’s lacquer dial colours, this reference is built specifically for the anniversary: yellow Rolesor construction, a Slate dial unique to this configuration, and green printed details that reference Rolex’s own house colour. It is a distinct anniversary configuration, not a permanent addition to the OP 36’s colour range. The case is 36mm Oystersteel, 11.6mm thick, with an 18k yellow gold domed bezel and Twinlock winding crown, the yellow Rolesor construction; the Oyster bracelet remains Oystersteel throughout, with the gold confined to the bezel and crown, fitted with an Oysterclasp and Easylink extension. The dial is Slate, a colour introduced for the anniversary and shared in the range only with the OP 41 134303. At 6 o’clock, “100 years” replaces the usual “Swiss Made” text; the five-minute markers on the minute track are printed in green, as is the “Rolex” signature. The movement is Calibre 3230: self-winding, Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, 70-hour power reserve, certified as a Superlative Chronometer to ±2 seconds per day. Water resistance is 100 metres via the screw-down Twinlock crown; no date complication, the dial reads without interruption. Within the current Oyster Perpetual 36 range, the 126003 sits apart from the lacquer dial colours on both construction and story: yellow Rolesor rather than full steel, and dial and case detailing specific to Rolex’s own centenary rather than a seasonal colour release. Against the standard steel OP 36 in Pistachio or Med Blue, this reference carries a premium for the gold content and the anniversary association, not the colour alone. We expect the Oyster 100 to hold interest well beyond the anniversary year itself, on the strength of the case construction rather than the marketing moment.
