Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Silver - Ref. 67480 (papers)

Description

"Oyster Perpetual": Two of the oldest words in the Rolex universe, two words we've seen so much that we no longer read them. Two words that sum up the entire Rolex philosophy: Oyster for the case, as waterproof as an oyster, and Perpetual because the automatic movement makes it work automatically as long as it's worn.

It has all the features that make Rolex watches famous, starting with the waterproof Oyster case, here in a 31 mm. The easily adjustable steel bracelet and the automatic movement make it a watch that is both comfortable and practical. Its silver dial playing with the light could not be more refined: only the inscriptions Rolex then Oyster Perpetual and the baton indexes indicating the hours appear.

Why did Françoise choose it?

This Oyster Perpetual is the very definition of versatility. It will suit you in any circumstance, whatever your outfit, wherever you are. As such, it is the ideal model to "go anywhere, do anything", with a perfect balance between style and sporty look. Its relatively small diameter adds to its versatility. If there's one watch that can be worn in any situation, this is it. Its silver dial doesn't stand out, but it's a Rolex, always elegant and reliable.

Obviously Françoise loves Rolex, especially when they are from the 1990s (best reliability ratio, especially water resistance and vintage look) and in 31 mm! She also loves this clean and sober dial. The Oyster Perpetual Lady is perfect on a woman's wrist.

History

The Oyster Perpetual is the starting point of the great Rolex saga. It is in fact the name of the first automatic and waterproof watch, released in 1931. This range would transform the name of Rolex, a young brand at the time, and establish it as the watchmaker of technical and sporting exploits. Since then, most Rolex watches have carried the inscription Oyster Perpetual in addition to their "range" name (Submariner, Explorer, DateJust...) to recall this original lineage. Returning to a simple "Oyster Perpetual" is to go back to the origins.
